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 cups 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray two donut pans with baking non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  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.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the white granulated sugar, room temperature eggs, milk, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), melted and cooled unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  5. Pipe Batter: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pans, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake Donuts: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare Strawberry Glaze – Blend: Place the quartered fresh strawberries into a food processor and blend until smooth puree is formed. Pour the puree into a small mixing bowl.
  8. Make Glaze: Add half of the powdered sugar to the strawberry puree and stir until combined. Then add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until thick. Slowly add 1 tablespoon of milk and stir again until the glaze reaches a consistency thin enough to coat the donuts but thick enough so it doesn’t run off.
  9. Glaze Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the strawberry glaze, covering the top generously. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack and allow the glaze to set and dry before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and a tender texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense donuts.
  • If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar to thicken it; if too thick, add a little more milk.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a slight tang.
  • Store glazed donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
