Ingredients
Scale
Donuts
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- Pinch of Nutmeg
- 2/3 cup White granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup Milk, room temperature
- 1/2 cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt, room temperature
- 4 TBSP Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
Strawberry Glaze
- 1/2 cup Strawberries, washed and quartered
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 TBSP Milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray two donut pans with non-stick baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg. Set aside.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the white granulated sugar, large eggs, milk, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), melted unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract until well combined.
- Make the Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender donuts.
- Fill Donut Pans: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pans, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake the Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean. Let donuts cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
- Prepare the Strawberry Glaze: In a food processor, blend the quartered strawberries until pureed. Pour the puree into a small bowl and mix in half of the powdered sugar until combined.
- Adjust Glaze Consistency: Add the remaining powdered sugar to the strawberry mixture and mix until thick. Then add the milk and stir until the glaze reaches a consistency that’s thin enough to coat the donuts but thick enough to hold onto them without running off. If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- Glaze the Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the strawberry glaze, ensuring a good coating. Place the glazed donuts back on the cooling rack and allow the glaze to set and dry.
Notes
- Use spooned and leveled flour or measure by weight to prevent dry donuts caused by compacted flour.
- If baking at high altitude, add an extra 2 tablespoons of flour to the dry ingredients.
- Bring dairy ingredients (milk, sour cream) to room temperature at least 2 hours before baking for best results.
