Ingredients
Fresh Strawberries
To create the best flavor, use about one cup of fresh strawberries. Choose ripe berries for maximum sweetness. Wash them thoroughly and chop them into small pieces to mix into the batter.
All-Purpose Flour
You will need two cups of all-purpose flour to provide structure to your donuts. This ingredient gives the perfect balance of density while keeping the texture light and airy.
Granulated Sugar
One cup of granulated sugar adds sweetness to the donut batter. Adjust the amount based on your preference for sweetness. This ingredient also helps create a nice crust when baked.
Baking Powder
Two teaspoons of baking powder act as a leavening agent, ensuring that your donuts rise perfectly while baking. This ingredient is essential for achieving that fluffy texture.
Salt
A pinch of salt enhances the flavors in your recipe. It balances the sweetness and brings out the natural flavors of the strawberries and other ingredients.
Eggs
You will need two large eggs to bind all ingredients together. Eggs add moisture and richness to the donut batter, contributing to a tender crumb.
Milk
One cup of whole milk makes your donut batter moist and adds richness. You can substitute it with almond milk if you prefer a dairy-free option.
Vanilla Extract
Two teaspoons of vanilla extract infuse the dough with warmth and depth of flavor. This ingredient complements the strawberries nicely and enhances overall taste.
Butter
Half a cup (one stick) of unsalted butter ensures that your donuts are rich and flavorful. Make sure it is melted before mixing it into the batter for even distribution.
