Description
Strawberries & Cream Glazed Donuts are soft, pillowy donuts infused with fresh strawberry flavor and topped with a luscious strawberry-cream glaze. Perfect for brunch, dessert, or an indulgent snack, they’re fruity, creamy, and irresistibly sweet.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, puréed or mashed (for glaze)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tbsp cream or milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk and melted butter.
- Stir wet ingredients into dry mixture until dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth.
- Cover and let dough rest until slightly puffed (proofing stage).
- Roll or shape dough into rounds with holes. Let rest again for a short proof.
- Fry donuts in hot oil until golden brown on both sides, or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes until cooked through.
- Cool donuts slightly on a rack.
- For glaze: blend strawberries until smooth, strain if desired. Mix with powdered sugar and cream/milk until a thick glaze forms.
- Dip tops of donuts into glaze, let excess drip off, and place on rack to set.
Notes
- Substitute half the strawberries with raspberries for a mixed berry glaze.
- Add lemon zest to glaze for brightness.
- Use a chocolate glaze for variety.
- Make mini donuts instead of full-size for bite-sized treats.
- Bake instead of fry for a lighter version.
