Description

Delight in these fluffy, baked glazed donuts infused with a fresh strawberry glaze. Made with a simple batter combining flour, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla, these donuts are baked to perfection for a light texture and finished with a sweet, vibrant strawberry glaze that adds a fruity twist to a classic favorite.

Ingredients

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 (room temperature or Greek yogurt)
  • 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: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two donut pans with non-stick baking spray to ensure the donuts release easily post-baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the white granulated sugar, eggs, milk, sour cream, melted and cooled unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined, taking care not to over-mix to keep the donuts tender.
  5. Fill Donut Pans: Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pans, filling each cavity about two-thirds full for ideal rising and shape.
  6. Bake Donuts: Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pans for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack.
  7. Prepare Strawberry Puree: Place the quartered strawberries into a food processor and blend until smooth to create a fresh strawberry puree.
  8. Make the Glaze: Transfer the puree to a small bowl and stir in half of the powdered sugar. Mix until incorporated, then add the remaining powdered sugar and stir until the mixture thickens.
  9. Adjust Glaze Consistency: Gradually add the tablespoon of milk and mix until the glaze is thin enough to coat the donuts but thick enough to adhere without dripping off. If too thin, add extra powdered sugar to thicken.
  10. Glaze Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the strawberry glaze and place them back on the cooling rack. Allow the glaze to set and dry before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth batter and even baking.
  • Don’t over-mix the batter to maintain light and fluffy donuts.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, a ziplock bag with a small corner cut off works perfectly.
  • Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar or milk as needed for the best coating consistency.
  • Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and sour cream with plant-based alternatives.
