Strawberry Glazed Doughnuts

   So, I tried this baked strawberry doughnut recipe I found online, and used my new doughnut pan! They turned out pretty good! The only thing I changed about this recipe was the glaze. I only used 1 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 tsp of salt and vanilla. Also I used some of the strawberry mixture in the glaze instead of milk, which made it taste super strawberryish!  We decided that they tasted like strawberry short cake. We just needed some whipped cream to add to the top. :)

Recipe found at Mary Quite Contrary. When I looked at her pictures, I noticed that my doughnuts turned out not as fluffy as hers, and also they were not so pink on the inside. I'm not sure why. Oh well, they were tasty so I'm satisfied. :)

Strawberry Glazed Doughnuts

Servings: 10 doughnuts

Ingredients:

Doughnuts:

1 cup flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup milk

1 egg

1 tbsp melted butter

10 strawberries, pureed with 2 tsp seedless strawberry jam

1 tbsp pure maple syrup

Glaze:

3 cups powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cups cold milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Grease a 6-doughnut pan with baking spray.  To make doughnuts combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together.  Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in milk, egg, butter, and maple syrup.  Stir until well combined.  Stir in strawberry mixture, starting with 1/2 of it and adding more only if needed.  Batter should be wet, but not runny.  Put dough into a pastry bag or plastic bag and snip approx 1-inch off end.  Pipe batter into each well, reserving extra batter.  Bake for 7-9 minutes until doughnuts spring back when touched.  Let cool five minutes and turn onto a cooling rack to cool completely.  Spray pan again and continue with the rest of batter until all doughnuts have been made.  While doughnuts are cooling make glaze.  To make glaze, stir all ingredients together until smooth.  When doughnuts are cooled dip each into glaze and place back on cooling rack to let glaze set.  When glaze has set enjoy!
