"As a teen I remember getting out of school, grabbing a snack and settling into the cartoon line-up," explains Mike Fielder, one of the artists who worked on the skin pack. "Part of that routine was watching Power Rangers. When I found out we would be working on a Minecraft version of some of the character line-up I was pretty excited and even more so when I found out Bulk and Skull would be included since they were my favourite characters. I had a blast creating Minecraft versions of these characters. I hope everyone who uses these skins has as much fun playing them as I did creating them."

More Nick: Nickelodeon Germany To Fully Premiere "Pokémon Sun And Moon" On Saturday 6th May 2017!

---------------
INGREDIENTS:
Tools & Ingredients
1 pack of active dry yeast
1 teaspoon of white sugar
¼ cup of warm water
6 eggs
6 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of white sugar
¼ cup of melted butter
1 cup of evaporated milk
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon of salt
2 liters of vegetable oil
2 cups of sugar
½ cup of powdered sugar
3 cups of heavy whipping cream


Step 1
Dissolve the pack of yeast in the ¼ cup of warm water.

Step 2
Beat the eggs until the are thick and fluffy.

Step 3
Add the yeast, ½ cup of sugar, melted butter, milk, salt and the cup of water to the eggs and combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixing it well until a dough forms.

Step 4
Knead the dough on a floured surface. Place in an oiled bowl and cover to let rise until doubled in size.

Step 5
Punch out the air and knead the dough lightly. Roll out the dough til it's about a half inch thick and using a circular cookie cutter, cut circle shapes. Set these aside and covered and let them grow for another 30 minutes.

Step 6
Fry each piece of dough in cooking oil heated to 375 degree F. If the malasadas are flipping too much, use a wider utensil like a wooden spoon to hold it down on one side until browned, then cook it on the other.

Step 7
To make a super simple cream filling, we're going to be combining vanilla pudding and flavoring. Separate 3 cups of vanilla pudding into two containers. In the first part add ½ cup of strawberry jam or jelly and mix. In the second one add 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves and 1 teaspoon ground ginger, mix all together. For the sour malasada, combine lemon zest with lemon pudding.

Step 8
Add each of those pudding mixtures to a separate piping bag.

Step 9
Make a hole in the side of the doughnuts, and pipe each mixture into separate doughnuts until filled. Dip these in a bowl of powdered sugar to coat one side.
