Ingredients:
For the donuts:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the strawberry cream filling:
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the white chocolate glaze:
- 4 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing the donut dough. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- While the oil heats, flour your surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thick.
- Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters to cut out donut shapes.
- Carefully lower the donuts into the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool while you prepare the filling.
- For the strawberry cream filling, combine the pureed strawberries, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
- Whip the mixture until it reaches stiff peaks, forming a smooth and thick cream.
- Once the donuts have cooled, use a piping bag fitted with a small round tip to fill each donut with the strawberry cream.
- For the white chocolate glaze, melt the white chocolate and heavy cream together in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Dip the tops of each filled donut into the white chocolate glaze, ensuring an even coating.
- Place the donuts on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
- Once the glaze has hardened slightly, serve and enjoy the indulgent combination of flavors.
