Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed or finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Start by washing and hulling fresh strawberries. Then, blend or mash about 1 cup until smooth. This puree will infuse your donut holes with fresh strawberry flavor and natural pink color.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. This mixture forms the base for fluffy, tender donut holes.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup melted butter (or oil), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the prepared strawberry puree. These wet ingredients blend sweet richness with bright fruitiness.
  4. Form the Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are perfectly fine and keep your donut holes tender.
  5. Cook the Donut Holes: Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to around 350°F (175°C). Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, carefully drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, turning once to cook evenly.
  6. Drain and Cool: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the donut holes to a paper towel-lined plate, allowing excess oil to drain. Let them cool slightly before serving or dusting with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh strawberries for maximum sweetness and color.
  • Keep oil temperature steady at around 350°F to avoid greasy donut holes.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
  • Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and prevent sticking.
  • Allow donut holes to cool slightly before glazing or dusting.
