Donut Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 large egg
Strawberry Glaze
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, whole milk, and large egg until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing for tender donuts.
- Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Prepare Strawberry Glaze: While the donuts cool slightly, blend fresh strawberries with powdered sugar until smooth to create the glaze.
- Glaze Donuts: Drizzle the strawberry glaze evenly over the warm donuts, allowing it to set before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor in the glaze.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
- Allow donuts to cool slightly before glazing to prevent melting the glaze.
- If you don’t have a donut pan, use a muffin pan and adjust baking time slightly.
- Store glazed donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
