Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 large egg
Glaze
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium 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 egg until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep donuts tender.
- Fill pan: Spoon the batter into the donut pan cavities, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake the donuts for 10 to 12 minutes until they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Prepare glaze and cool: While the donuts cool slightly, blend the fresh strawberries with powdered sugar until smooth to create the glaze. Drizzle the strawberry glaze over the warm donuts before serving for a fresh, sweet finish.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep donuts light and fluffy.
- Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor in the glaze.
- Allow donuts to cool slightly before glazing to prevent melting the glaze completely.
- Donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
