Instructions

STEP-BY-STEP STRAWBERRY DONUT INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prep the Oven & Pan:

  2. Preheat your oven to 160°C (approx. 325°F).

  3. Lightly grease your donut baking pan with a little bit of sunflower oil.

  4. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  6. Whisk the Wet Ingredients:

  7. In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer to blend the milk, egg, vanilla extract*, and sunflower oil until smooth.

  8. Combine:

  9. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well until a smooth batter forms. Gently fold in the finely diced fresh strawberries.

  10. Bake:

  11. Divide the batter evenly into your donut pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

  12. Once done, remove from the oven and let them sit in the pan for another 10 minutes.

  13. Carefully tip them out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Whip Up the Glaze & Puree

  1. The Labneh-Rosewater Glaze:

  2. In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the Labneh, powdered sugar, and optional rosewater until it forms a smooth, glossy glaze.

  3. The Quick Strawberry Puree:

  4. Combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Puree until smooth using a blender, or simply mash them with a fork and press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve for a silky-smooth texture.

The Grand Finale: Assembly & Decoration

  1. Create the Marble Swirl:

  2. Drizzle about half of your strawberry puree over the top of the Labneh glaze.

  3. Take a wooden skewer and gently swirl it through the puree to create a gorgeous marbled pattern.

  4. Dip the Donuts:

  5. Dip the top half of each cooled donut into the marbled glaze, turning it slightly to get an even coat.

  6. Lift it out and place it back on the wire rack to let any excess drip off.

  7. The Final Touch:

  8. Garnish each glazed donut with fresh strawberry halves.
