The Ingredients You'll Need
For the donuts:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup strawberry jam
Red food coloring (optional)
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pink or red food coloring (optional)
Baking Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a donut pan with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
If you want your donuts to have a festive pink color, add a few drops of red food coloring to the batter and mix until you achieve the desired shade. Next, spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full. Use a small spoon to make a small indentation in the center of each donut and fill it with a spoonful of strawberry jam.
Bake the donuts for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, you can make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and food coloring (if desired) in a small bowl. Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip them into the glaze and place them back on the wire rack to set.
And there you have it, delicious and festive Valentine's donuts that are sure to impress your loved ones. You can also add some sprinkles or heart-shaped candies on top of the glaze for an extra special touch. Happy baking!
