Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/4 cup Butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Strawberries, pureed

Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Strawberries, pureed
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and fresh strawberry puree until smooth.
  2. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the donuts tender and light.
  3. Fill the Donut Pan: Lightly grease a donut pan using butter or non-stick spray. Fill each cavity about three-quarters full with the batter to allow proper rising without spills.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Bake the donuts for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they spring back lightly when touched and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Make the Strawberry Glaze: While the donuts cool, whisk together powdered sugar, fresh strawberry puree, and a splash of milk until smooth and pourable. Adjust milk quantity to get the desired glaze consistency.
  6. Glaze the Donuts: Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze or spoon it generously over the top, letting it drip down the sides. Allow the glaze to set for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for natural sweetness and vibrant color.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense, tough donuts.
  • Grease your pan well to ensure donuts release cleanly without breaking.
  • Check doneness starting at 12 minutes to prevent overbaking.
  • Adjust glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar if too runny or a few drops of milk if too thick.
