Ingredients
Scale
Doughnuts
- 1 c. all purpose flour
- ⅓ c. granulated white sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- ½ c. full fat milk
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Glaze
- ½ c. strawberries
- 1–2 cups powdered icing sugar, as needed
- pink food dye, as needed
- pearl sprinkles, optional
- 1–2 tablespoons cream or milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- Spray your donut baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. Place a cooling rack over a baking tray for when you cool and decorate your donuts. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together until well combined. Do not over-mix. You can use a measuring cup or piping bag to portion the batter into your donut pan – whatever you fill most comfortable with. You need to fill each cavity about ¾ of the way full as they will rise when baking.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean and the donuts are springy and golden brown.
- Allow the donuts to cool for 2 minutes before removing from the pan and placing on the prepared cooling rack.
- For the glaze, puree the strawberries in a blender until smooth.
- Place a fine mesh sieve above a bowl or measuring cup and pour the strawberries in. You can discard what the sieve catches or use it in another recipe.
- Pour the strained strawberry puree into a small bowl and add confectioner’s sugar until you form a dippable icing. I also had to add about a tablespoon of cream, but adjust as needed. The strawberries add a faint pink color to the icing but I amped it up with a bit of pink dye.
- Dip each donut into the glaze, hold above the bowl to let the glaze drip off, and then re-dip to get a thick coating.
- Place the dipped donut on the cooling rack and immediately sprinkle on your choice of sprinkles.
- Repeat with all donuts.
- Let dry before packaging or serving.
