Strawberry Glazed Doughnuts

So after looking at multiple baked doughnut recipes on Pinterest I ordered a doughnut pan on Amazon from Wilton.  I then decided to try this strawberry doughnut recipe from Mary Quite Contrary Bakes.  I must say that my doughnuts did not look nearly as delicious as Mary's, but this is NOT her fault.  I learn by trial and error, and I think next time I need to add more strawberries and strawberry jam.

 

Slightly adapted from Mary Quite Contrary Bakes 

Ingredients:

Doughnuts:

1 cup All-Purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

 

1/4 tsp cinnamon (I would omit this next time because the cinnamon flavor was stronger than the strawberry flavor.)

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup milk

1 egg

1 tbsp melted butter

10 medium to large strawberries pureed with 2 tsp strawberry jam (I did not use all of this mixture because I thought it might make the mixture too runny, but next time I would use it all.)

1 tbsp honey (Mary recommends maple syrup, but I did not have any on hand.)

Glaze:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup cold milk

 

The glaze was super simple, easy to make, and yummy!

 

Step 1:  Puree strawberries and jam.  I used a hand held mixer and it worked great.

 

Step 2:  Combine flour, salt, baking powder,  sugar and cinnamon.

Step 3:  Add egg, milk, butter and honey and mix.

Step 4:  Stir in pureed strawberries and jam.

Step 5:  Spray Wilton doughnut pan.  I use PAM for baking with flour.  The easiest way to fill the pan is to pour mixture into a Ziploc bag and cut off the tip.  Fill each doughnut 3/4 full.  Bake for 7 minutes at 425 degrees.

 

When doughnuts are cool, mix glaze ingredients together and dip doughnuts into mixture.
