About this recipe
Soft, fluffy and bursting with strawberry flavor, these Baked Strawberry Donuts are topped with a sweet glaze that makes them irresistible. Made with buttermilk for extra richness. Recipe from Florida Dairy Farmers.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim strawberries and add them to a food processor. Pulse until you have a chunky puree. See photo above. (Don't want to over-pulse so it turns completely to liquid.) Set aside.
Mix together butter, sugar and egg in a large mixing bowl on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes. Add vanilla, buttermilk and strawberry puree and mix again until blended.
Add both flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix on low speed until just incorporated. Don't overmix! Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
Add donut batter to a large piping bag or freezer bag. Grease donut tin and squeeze batter into each tin carefully. You want to fill the tin no more than HALFWAY.
Bake for 7-8 minutes on the middle rack.
For glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk in a bowl and set aside. Place donuts on a wire rack and pour glaze over top of each allowing the glaze to drip off. Alternatively, you can dip the top of each donut into the glaze one by one. The glaze will harden after about 20-30 minutes.
