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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Make the Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender donuts.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
