Strawberry-Glazed Vanilla Bean Doughnuts
- FOR THE DOUGHNUTS:
- 1/3 cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Buttermilk
- 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter, Melted And Cooled Slightly
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Cake Flour, Sifted
- 1/3 cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 Vanilla Bean
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Strawberries
- Red Gel Food Coloring (Optional)
- Sprinkles, For Topping (optional)
- Heat oven to 400u0b0F (375u0b0F for a dark or nonstick doughnut pan). Lightly grease a 6-cavity doughnut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter and egg until combined. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla bean seeds.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; stir to combine. Divide batter evenly in doughnut pan.
- Bake 8 to 12 minutes until doughnuts are baked through and spring back when lightly pressed. Cool 1 minute in pan, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before glazing.
- Make the glaze just before you plan to dip the doughnuts. In a medium bowl, stir together half the powdered sugar and all of the chopped strawberries until well combined. Let sit 1 minute, then add remaining powdered sugar and stir until a glaze forms. Dye with a drop of red food coloring, if desired.
- Dip doughnuts one at a time into glaze. Top with sprinkles, if desired. Let glaze set completely before serving.
