Ingredients

1 cup whole milk

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (for glaze)

1 cup chopped fresh strawberries

Neutral oil for frying (such as canola or vegetable)

Instructions

1. Warm milk to 110°F, stir in yeast and sugar, and let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, eggs, and yeast mixture. Mix, then add butter gradually. Knead until smooth and elastic.

3. Cover and let the dough rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.

4. Punch down the dough and roll to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out circles using a biscuit cutter.

5. Let the cut rolls rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.

6. Heat oil to 350°F and fry donut rolls until golden on both sides, 1–2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

7. Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream to make glaze. Adjust thickness as needed.

8. Dip warm donuts in glaze, top with freshly chopped strawberries, and serve.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries and chop them just before serving to prevent sogginess.

Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for perfect golden crusts.

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving for a neater presentation.
