Instructions

1. 1. In a large bowl, mix the plain flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Add warm milk, 1 large egg, and softened butter, and knead into a soft, elastic dough. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2. 2. While the dough rises, prepare the pistachio creme brulee filling. In a saucepan, heat double cream until just warm. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, caster sugar, and vanilla extract until pale. Gradually add the warm cream, whisking constantly, then return the mixture to the saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring, until thickened. Stir in the ground pistachios and let the custard cool completely.
3. 3. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1 cm thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out donut shapes, then let them rest for 30 minutes to rise again.
4. 4. Heat oil in a deep pan to 180°C. Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and let them cool slightly.
5. 5. Using a piping bag with a nozzle, fill each donut with the cooled pistachio creme brulee filling.
6. 6. Dust the tops of the filled donuts with granulated sugar and use a kitchen blowtorch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crisp. Let the caramelized tops cool before serving.
7. 7. Serve the Pistachio Creme Brulee Donuts warm or at room temperature and enjoy their creamy, crunchy, and nutty perfection.
