Ingredients
Scale
Doughnuts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons pureed strawberries
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a doughnut pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground nutmeg until thoroughly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Form Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the doughnuts.
- Add Strawberries: Carefully fold in the finely chopped fresh strawberries, ensuring even distribution without breaking them down.
- Fill Doughnut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed.
- Cool: Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, pureed strawberries, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly runny.
- Glaze the Doughnuts: Dip the cooled doughnuts into the glaze, letting the excess drip off, then place back on the wire rack to set before serving.
Notes
- For an extra boost of strawberry flavor, add a few drops of natural strawberry extract to the glaze.
- Store glazed doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
