Servings: 12 donuts
Equipment
Ingredients
For the Donuts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 4 tablespoons butter cold and cut into cubes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Glaze
- 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled
- 2 - 3 cups powdered sugar depending on how thick you want your glaze
Instructions
For the Donuts:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease two 6-cavity donut pans. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. With a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture; mix well.
- Carefully transfer the batter into a large zip-top bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible while sealing the bag. Snip one corner from the bag and pipe the batter into the prepared pans, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the Strawberry Glaze:
- Puree the strawberries in the bowl of a food processor.
- Add the powdered sugar and blend until combined.
- Transfer the glaze to a shallow bowl.
- Dip the tops of the cooled donuts in the glaze and replace them on the cooling rack with glaze side up OR use a pastry brush to brush the glaze over the tops of the cooled donuts.
- Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
- You can make the donuts ahead of time and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. However, it's best to glaze them just before serving to maintain their freshness and texture.
- You can freeze the unfrosted donuts for up to one month. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. Thaw the donuts at room temperature before glazing and serving.
