Ingredients

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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two donut pans by spraying them generously with non-stick baking spray to ensure easy release of the donuts.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir these dry ingredients together and set aside.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the white granulated sugar, eggs, milk, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), melted butter, and vanilla extract until blended smoothly.
  4. Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently just until combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the donuts tender.
  5. Pipe 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 mold about two-thirds full for optimal rise and shape.
  6. Bake Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into a donut; it should come out clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  7. Prepare Strawberry Glaze: Place the quartered strawberries in a food processor and blend until smooth to create a puree. Pour the puree into a small bowl and stir in half of the powdered sugar until combined.
  8. Adjust Glaze Consistency: Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix well. The glaze should be thick before adding the milk. Slowly add the milk and stir until the glaze reaches a consistency that is thin enough to coat the donuts evenly but thick enough not to run off completely. Adjust with more powdered sugar if needed.
  9. Glaze Donuts: Dip the cooled donuts into the strawberry glaze, coating them thoroughly. Place the glazed donuts back on the cooling rack and let the glaze set and dry before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature to promote even mixing and better texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  • If you don’t have donut pans, you can use a muffin tin, but the shape will differ.
  • Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar if it’s too runny or more milk if too thick.
  • Store glazed donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor and similar texture.
