Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 and 1/3 cups buttermilk
2 Tablespoons melted butter
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup strawberries, diced
2 cups powdered sugar
4 Tablespoons strawberries, finely chopped
3 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease donut pan or spray with cooking spray.
- STEP TWO – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat egg then whisk together buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract.
- Add dry ingredient to wet ingredients and stir just until moistened. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
-
Transfer batter in three separate batches to a decorating bag or ziplock bag. Once filled, cut a hole in the bottom of the bag that is just a bit smaller than the size of the donut shape.
You can also spoon in the batter by hand using a small spoon instead of using the bag. Do not overfill.
-
Bake in 350°F oven for 15 minutes.
- Cool for five minutes. Remove from pan and set on wire rack with a piece of parchment paper underneath it.
-
Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, finely chopped strawberries, vanilla and two tablespoons of the milk. You may need to add another tablespoon of milk to reach a consistency that is suitable for dipping the donuts in the donut icing.
-
Turn the donuts upside down and dip into the donut frosting and allow to drip off. Place back on wire rack and allow to set for 15 minutes.
Notes
Storage: Store cooled donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days or the fridge for 5 days. Separate any donut layers using parchment paper for easy serving.
Freezing: Donuts can be placed without frosting in a freezer-safe container and frozen for 2 to 3 months.
Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature, then prepare frosting and frost when ready to eat. I do not recommend freezing frosted donuts.
