  • Pour batter into greased donut pan, making sure to not overfill. The donuts will rise quite a bit!

  • Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and it come out clean.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack. Repeat as needed until all of the batter has been baked.
  • While donuts cool, make the glaze: Beat the powdered sugar, cream, and chopped strawberries with a hand mixer until well combined. Make the glaze thicker or thinner by adding more or less cream.

  • Dip each donut face down into the glaze and then allow to cool until the icing hardens a bit. It might not harden all the way because of the strawberries, but it will firm up quite a bit.

Notes

  • Use a donut tin to make these. You can find one most places where cookware and bakeware is sold.
  • Grease the tin before filling it with batter so they don't stick while baking.
  • The donuts will rise as they bake, so don't overfill the tin.
  • Make the glaze while the donuts are cooling on a rack.
  • To glaze, just dip each donut face-down in the icing.
  • If you want to warm them up before eating, just pop them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.
Storage: Store strawberry donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
