Ingredients

10 servings

  • 1 ½ cups powdered milk
  • ¾ cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon semolina
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • saffron, few strands
  • almond, toasted and chopped
  • pistachio, toasted and chopped

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the powdered milk, flour, semolina, bicarbonate of soda, lemon juice, butter, and milk until thoroughly combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest for 15 minutes, until all the moisture is absorbed.
  • Take a golf ball-sized portion of dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • In a deep pot, heat the sunflower oil until it reaches 360°F (160°C).
  • Fry the doughnuts for about 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried doughnuts to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the sugar, water, and saffron to a saucepan over a medium heat, and stir.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved and is syrupy (about 5-7 minutes), add the doughnuts to the pan, stirring to coat in the syrup.
  • Let the doughnuts soak in the syrup for an hour.
  • Remove the doughnuts and garnish with the almonds and pistachios.
  • Enjoy!
