Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Donuts
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup strawberry jam
Vegetable oil for frying
Strawberry Glaze
2 cup powdered sugar
3 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk
1/4 cup strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add dry ingredients – flour, baking powder and salt – and stir together.
- In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add egg yolks and beat until smooth. Add in sour cream and strawberry jam and mix until just combined.
- Add half of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Add last half of flour mixture and mix until just combined.
- Scoop ought out of bowl onto a sheet of plastic wrap. The dough will be sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour or overnight if you make ahead.
- Once dough is chilled, heavily flour a surface. Sprinkle flour on top of dough and gently work flour into the dough until it isn’t sticking to the surface.
- Roll the dough out 1/2 and inch thick. Cut out with donut cutter or cookie cutters (one small and large).
- Heat oil in dutch oven about 2 inches deep. Use a thermometer to measure temperature of oil. Heat the oil to 325ºF.
- Once the oil reaches temperature, put 2 donuts in the oil at a time. Fry for a couple minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Check to make sure they don’t burn.
- Transfer the cooked donuts to a wire rack with a paper towel-lined pan underneath to catch the oil. Repeat the steps 9-10 for the rest of the donuts.
- While the donuts cool a bit, make the glaze. Blend strawberries in a high powered blender (we used a Nutribullet) until smooth. In a bowl, add powdered sugar, melted butter, milk and vanilla stir to combine. Add in strawberries last and stir until combined. If you need to make the glaze thicker, add some more powdered sugar a couple tbsp at a time until it reaches the thickness you want.
- Dip each donut in the glaze and place back on the wire rack to drip dry. Once all are glazed, let them set for a couple minutes and enjoy!!
