Directions
-
Preheat Your Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial for achieving the perfect rise and texture in your donuts. Grease a donut pan with a bit of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. -
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined; this ensures that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. -
Prepare Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and chopped strawberries. Mixing these wet ingredients thoroughly will help create a smooth batter while ensuring that the vibrant flavor of the strawberries shines through. -
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. You want your batter to be slightly lumpy, as this will lead to a tender donut. -
Fill the Donut Pan
Using a spoon, carefully spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. This will allow for some rise while baking, giving you that lovely, rounded shape. -
Bake the Donuts
Place the filled donut pan in your preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Keep an eye on them, as ovens can vary in temperature. -
Cool the Donuts
After baking, let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes. Once they are slightly cool, carefully remove them from the pan and set them on a wire rack to cool completely. -
Prepare the Glaze
In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar with a splash of milk. Mix until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the consistency by adding more milk or sugar depending on your preference. -
Glaze the Donuts
Drizzle the prepared glaze over the cooled donuts, allowing it to flow down the sides. If you like, you can top them with additional chopped strawberries for an extra touch of elegance. -
