These Saffron & Pistachio Kulfi Doughnuts reinterpret Christmas dessert through Indian flavours. Soft, yeast-raised doughnuts are filled with a dense kulfi-style custard made by reducing milk, blooming saffron, and folding in pistachios. The result balances airy fried dough with a slow-cooked, aromatic centre that feels festive without being heavy.

Step 1: Dough Mixing

Combine flour, caster sugar, yeast, and salt in a bowl. Add lukewarm milk, egg, and softened butter, mixing until a sticky dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic; this structure helps the doughnuts hold the filling later. Shape into a ball and cover.
