Ingredients
Scale
For the Donuts:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Pinch of nutmeg
⅔ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
½ cup milk (room temperature)
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (room temperature)
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
½ cup fresh strawberries, quartered
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two donut pans with non-stick spray.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg using a whisk.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the sugar, eggs, milk, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pipe the Batter: Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off and pipe it into the donut pan cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth. In a bowl, combine the strawberry puree with half of the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix. Slowly stir in the milk until the glaze reaches your preferred consistency.
- Glaze the Donuts: Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the wire rack to set.
Notes
Use spoon-and-level method for flour to avoid dry texture.
Don’t overmix to keep donuts light.
If glaze is too thin, add more sugar; too thick, add a bit more milk.
Use room-temperature dairy for best results.
