Strawberry-Lemon Doughnuts

Fresh lemon juice, zest, and finely diced strawberries flavor these baked doughnuts. The recipe makes six.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup fresh strawberries, diced into very small pieces
  • Cooking spray
  • Confectioners’ sugar, optional, for a light dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a regular six-cavity doughnut pan with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk the egg with the sugar in a bowl.
  3. Add the milk, lemon juice, and vanilla. Stir well.
  4. Mix in the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
  5. Fold in the finely diced strawberries.
  6. Divide the batter among the six prepared cavities. If desired, transfer the batter to a zip-top bag, snip one corner, and pipe it into the pan.
  7. Bake for 16 minutes, until the centers contain no wet batter and reach 160°F (71°C).
  8. Let the doughnuts cool. Run a knife gently around the edges to remove them from the pan.
  9. Dust lightly with confectioners’ sugar if desired.
