Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 3 cups, provides the base and structure for the donuts.
- Active Dry Yeast: 2¼ teaspoons, helps the dough rise to a soft, airy texture.
- Warm Milk: ¾ cup, activates the yeast and adds moisture.
- Granulated Sugar: ¼ cup, sweetens the dough gently.
- Salt: ½ teaspoon, enhances overall flavor.
- Unsalted Butter: 3 tablespoons, melted for richness.
- Eggs: 2 large, bind the ingredients and add tenderness.
- Vegetable Oil: enough for frying, ensures golden crisp edges.
- Fresh Strawberries: ½ cup, pureed for the natural pink glaze.
- Powdered Sugar: 1½ cups, gives the glaze its smooth texture.
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon, adds warmth and depth to the glaze.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Warm the milk slightly (about 40°C) and set out all ingredients for easy access.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let rest for 5 minutes until frothy, then whisk in butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth, then place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Assemble the Dish: Roll out dough to ½-inch thickness and cut donuts using round cutters. Place on parchment paper and let rise for another 20 minutes.
- Cook to Perfection: Heat oil in a deep pot to 180°C. Fry donuts for about 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Finishing Touches: Blend pureed strawberries, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip each cooled donut halfway into the glaze and place on a rack to set.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve slightly warm and let the sweet strawberry aroma fill your kitchen.
