Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
Glaze
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan to ensure the donuts don’t stick during baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning agents.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, egg, whole milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures and Add Strawberries: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Carefully fold in the chopped fresh strawberries to retain their texture within the batter.
- Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake the Donuts: Bake the donuts in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool slightly before glazing.
- Prepare and Apply Glaze: Mix the powdered sugar with milk to create a smooth glaze. Once donuts have cooled, dip or drizzle the glaze over the donuts for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Make sure the egg is at room temperature to ensure a better batter consistency.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the donuts tender and light.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Allow donuts to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
- Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
