Happy Holidays, you guys!
Saffron Starmen
Difficulty: Medium
These golden Starmen, inspired by the Starman powerup from Super Mario Bros, combines classic holiday pastrymaking with the love for retro games. Using saffron as flavourboost, these are sure to be a hit at holiday gamer get-togethers!

What you need:
6 ounces or 150g of butter
2 cups or 5 dl milks
50g of yeast. Thats usually just one pack.
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and ¼ of a cup or 3 dl sugar
7 cups or 17 dl of flour
1-2 bags of saffran
1-2 eggs and a bunch of raisins

Start off by melting the butter. When thats done, poor in the milk.
Now, when you've add the cold milk into the hot butter, wait until the mixture is lukewarm.
Crumble up your yeast in a bowl, and then pour the mixture on top of it.
Add a couple of drops of water to the saffron, and stir it in.
Add the sugar, one egg and the salt, then mix well.

Now its time to start adding the flour. We're gonna use a lot of flour as you saw earlier, so here you need something other than your normal handmixer. The normal one will do fine to start with, but after a while we're gonna use something called dough hooks. Think of it like upgrading your mega buster. Add little by little until the dough starts losing its grip of the edges of the bowl.

Now, put a towel over your bowl. Its time to let the dough ferment, in room temperature, for about 40 minutes!
When that's done, make yourself a nice big open area, that you prepare with a lot of flour. Pour the dough out of the bowl, and start working it. Now, you might want to work some additional flour into the dough as you work it.
Use a rolling pin to flatten it out. Then use a starshaped cookiecutter, and start cutting those starmen out!
Put on a bakingplate with some bakingpaper on it. Add raisins for eyes, and then use a brush and then swab the starmen with some mixed eggs. This will give them a really nice finish.
Preheat the oven to 225 C or 450F
Bake in oven for about 8 minutes, or until they're golden. Let them cool off, and then enjoy!

    Hey there, and thank you for the comment! :)

    Honestly, right now the only thing keeping me from making more vids is an upstairs neighbour blasting music 24/7. making it impossible to record anything! I took a break from the show for some personal reasons, but I've been meaning to get back for quite some time now :)
