Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
First, slightly chop the butter and melt it over low heat.
Step 2
Next, sift the flour and add the baking powder and vanilla, along with a pinch of salt to prevent the kulich from being bland. Mix thoroughly. Combine the melted butter with the flour.
Step 3
The next step is to separate the egg whites from the yolks and set them aside. Whisk the yolks with the sugar and add them to the dough. Mix again.
Step 4
Crush the saffron in a mortar and pour a tablespoon of water over the resulting powder. Stir and let it steep for a while.
Step 5
Add dried fruits (chopped) to the dough to taste — seedless raisins, dried apricots, or dried strawberries/cranberries. This depends entirely on your imagination.
Step 6
Now, add a little milk to the dough and mix, then add the remaining milk and saffron, and mix once more.
Step 7
Whip the egg whites and gently fold them into the dough with a spatula.
Step 8
Grease a baking pan with butter and fill it three-quarters full, as the dough will rise. Place it in an oven preheated to 355°F for one hour.
Step 9
Prepare the glaze. Mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and a little water until it reaches the consistency of liquid sour cream. Pour the glaze over the cooled kulich and decorate with sprinkles. Allow the glaze to set for a few hours.
