Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Dough:

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8 minutes until smooth.

2️⃣ Let It Rise:

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

4️⃣ Fry the Donuts:

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.

5️⃣ Make the Glaze:

Whisk powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.

6️⃣ Decorate:

Dip the donuts into the glaze, letting excess drip off. Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles and top with fresh strawberry halves.

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Best enjoyed fresh!
