Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons fresh strawberry puree
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
While the donuts cool, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, fresh strawberry puree, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the donuts are cool, dip the top of each donut into the strawberry glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place the glazed donuts back on the cooling rack for the glaze to set before serving.
