Ingredients:
For the Donut Dough:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F/45°C)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Strawberry Cream Filling:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
For the Sugar Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Donut Dough
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to add too much.
- Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 2: Prepare the Strawberry Cream Filling
- Cook the Strawberries: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Cool the Strawberry Mixture: Once the strawberry mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip the cream—just enough until it holds its shape.
- Combine the Strawberry Mixture with the Cream: Once the strawberry mixture is cooled, gently fold it into the whipped cream. This will create a beautiful, light strawberry cream filling. Set aside in the fridge until you’re ready to fill the donuts.
