Instructions
Step 1
Start by melting the butter and mixing it with the milk and pistachio paste. This will create a rich base for your dough. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with sugar until light and fluffy.
Next, add the milk mixture to the egg mixture and stir well to combine. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients – flour and baking powder. Use a whisk to ensure everything is blended smoothly without lumps.
Step 2
Once your batter is ready, transfer it into a piping bag. Take your silicone molds (I recommend using molds with 6 cavities, each about 3 inches in diameter) and fill them with batter to about one-third full. This allows space for the donuts to rise while baking.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Place the filled molds into the oven and let them bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them – they should be golden and spring back when touched.
After baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before gently taking them out of the molds.
Step 4
For a delightful finish, you can glaze your donuts. Combine the white chocolate, grapeseed oil, and pistachio paste in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture in short bursts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Step 5
After your donuts are cooled, dip the tops into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle chopped pistachios over the glaze to add texture and flavor.
Enjoy your fluffy pistachio donuts as a perfect treat for breakfast or a sweet snack!

Variations
Faq
- What if my donut batter is too runny?
If your batter seems too runny, try adding a bit more flour gradually until it reaches a more cake-like consistency. This will help in achieving that fluffy donut texture!
- Can I use a different nut paste instead of pistachio?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other nut pastes like almond or hazelnut for a fun twist on the classic recipe!
- How can I tell when the donuts are fully baked?
A good test is to insert a toothpick into the center of a donut. If it comes out clean, your donuts are ready!
- Can I make the donut batter ahead of time?
While it's best to use the batter fresh, you can prepare it a few hours in advance and store in the fridge. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature before baking!
- What’s the best way to store leftover donuts?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer freshness, keep them in the fridge but allow them to come to room temperature before serving again.
- Can I freeze these donuts?
Yes! Once cooled, freeze the donuts in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They can last for up to 3 months. Just thaw and enjoy!
