Best 5 Strawberry Glaze For Doughnuts Recipes

HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY GLAZED DONUTS

Steps:

• Begin heating 3-4 cups canola oil on the stovetop over medium low heat. I like frying donuts in my cast iron skillet since it retains heat so well.
• Mix the butter and sugar together. Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing in between additions. Add in milk and vanilla and mix to combine.
• Add in dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
• Flour countertop liberally. Transfer dough onto flour and sprinkle top with additional flour. Knead for 2-3 minutes, adding flour in small amounts until dough is easier to handle and less sticky. (The dough will still be somewhat sticky, but manageable. One of the tricks to delicate, soft donuts is not over mixing/ over kneading and not adding in too much flour. Between sprinkling the countertop and the flour on the dough, you'll likely use an additional 1/4 cup of flour.)
• Roll dough out just a few times until it's about 1/2" thick. Use 2 different biscuit cutters to cut round donut shapes and set uncooked donuts and donut holes aside. (I made large round donuts using the smallest circle cutter and the 3rd largest, then made mini donuts by cutting a larger middle hole into the donuts I just cut.)
• Once oil reaches 325-330 degrees F, begin frying 3-4 donuts at a time. Let cook 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip donuts and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Donut holes will cook much faster, usually 3 minutes total.
• Transfer cooked donuts to a plate lined with paper towels. Cool slightly.
• Whisk strawberry glaze ingredients together. Dip semi-cooled donuts in, making sure to coat well. Donuts taste best when eaten immediately, while still warm and dripping with gooey glaze! Store leftovers in an airtight container. Leftover donuts will soften, but they'll still be delicious.

STRAWBERRY GLAZE FOR DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, jam, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a medium bowl until well combined and smooth.

STRAWBERRY-LIME GLAZED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• For the doughnuts: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter or glass to trace 16 circles on the parchment, leaving equal space between each. Flip the parchment over and lightly coat with cooking spray. Fit a large pastry bag with a 1/2-inch round tip or snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner of a large resealable plastic bag.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Pulverize the sugar and freeze-dried strawberries in a blender or food processor until no large pieces remain, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the butter and beat until combined (it will be crumbly). Beat in the whole egg and yolk until well combined and the mixture turns pale yellow, 4 to 5 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the buttermilk, vanilla extract and strawberry extract until smooth.
• Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and fold in with a rubber spatula until almost combined. Add the remaining flour mixture and fold in until just combined (do not overmix). Transfer the batter to the prepared pastry bag.
• Using the circles as a guide, pipe the batter into 2 1/2-inch rings. (If you have any leftover batter, pipe 1-inch round doughnut holes on a second sheet of parchment sprayed with nonstick spray.) Refrigerate while you heat up the shortening or oil.
• Heat the shortening or oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 340 degrees F. (You want to have at least 1 inch of liquid once the shortening melts; about 6 cups.) Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Cut the parchment around each doughnut with kitchen shears, leaving a narrow border if possible. Carefully invert 4 of the doughnuts into the oil and peel off the parchment with tongs. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes total, flipping the doughnuts every 30 seconds to ensure even cooking. (Fry any doughnut holes for about 1 minute.) Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the wire rack. Bring the shortening back to 340 degrees F and repeat with the remaining doughnuts. Let the doughnuts cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Combine the confectioners' sugar, strawberry preserves, lime zest and lime juice in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and the consistency is like thick glue.
• While the doughnuts are still warm, dip one at a time into the glaze, swirling as needed to coat the top. Return to the wire rack. Toss any doughnut holes in the glaze to coat completely and return to the wire rack. Let the glaze set, about 15 minutes.

GLAZED DOUGHNUT STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• Beat cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Place the bottom half of one doughnut on a plate. Spoon 1/4 cup whipped cream onto the doughnut, arrange 1/4 of the sliced strawberries over the whipped cream, and then spoon another 1/4 cup whipped cream over the strawberries. Top with remaining doughnut half. Repeat with remaining doughnuts, cream, and strawberries.

STRAWBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Blend or puree the strawberries into a liquid.
• Dissolve cornstarch in the cold water in a medium saucepan. Add strawberry puree and sugar and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until just beginning to boil. Remove from heat.
• Immediately add butter and lemon juice; stir until butter has melted. Allow to cool before serving.
