Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons strawberry puree
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a donut pan well.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
5. Fold in the finely chopped strawberries gently so the batter stays light.
6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag and pipe it into the donut cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
7. Bake for 13 to 16 minutes, until the donuts are lightly golden and spring back when touched.
8. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack.
9. Whisk together the powdered sugar and strawberry puree until a smooth glaze forms.
10. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and let them set before serving.
Notes
Pat the strawberries dry before folding them into the batter so the donuts do not become too wet.
Do not overmix the batter or the donuts can turn dense instead of soft and tender.
Let the donuts cool completely before glazing so the pink glaze sets nicely on top.
