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 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 Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray two donut pans with baking non-stick spray to ensure easy release of the donuts after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 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 another bowl, combine the white granulated sugar, room temperature eggs, milk, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), melted and cooled unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure all wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender donut texture.
  5. Pipe the Batter: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pans, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake: Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. After baking, allow the donuts to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare Strawberry Glaze: Place the quartered strawberries into a food processor and blend until smooth to create a strawberry puree. Transfer the puree to a small bowl.
  8. Mix Glaze: Add half of the powdered sugar to the strawberry puree and mix until combined. Then add the remaining powdered sugar and mix well. The mixture should be thick initially.
  9. Adjust Consistency: Stir in the milk gradually until the glaze reaches a consistency that is thin enough to coat the donuts but thick enough to stay on them without running off. If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar to thicken.
  10. Glaze Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the strawberry glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts back onto the cooling rack and let the glaze set and dry before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs, milk, and sour cream to ensure even mixing and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep donuts light and fluffy.
  • If you don’t have sour cream, Greek yogurt is a suitable substitute.
  • For a thicker glaze, reduce the milk or add more powdered sugar as needed.
  • Ensure donuts are completely cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • Store glazed donuts in an airtight container for up to 2 days for best freshness.
