Strawberry Rose Donuts

Ingredients:

For the Donuts

• 2 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup softened, salted butter (like the salted Minerva Dairy butter)
• 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp rose water
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 1/2 cup freeze dried strawberries

For the Strawberry Glaze

• 2 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tbsp pureed strawberries

Instructions:

For the Donuts

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. First start by creaming 1/2 cup of softened, salted butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar together in a medium sized bowl.
3. Then add in 2 eggs, 1 tsp of vanilla and 1/4 tsp of rose water and combine.
4. Mix in 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of milk. Set aside.
5. In a small bowl mix 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 tsp of baking soda, 1 tsp of baking powder and 1/4 tsp of salt together.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time until all is incorporated together.
7. Grind 1 1/2 cups of freeze-dried strawberries. Sift them into the batter and mix until all is combined.
8. Transfer the donut batter into a piping bag fitted with a large tip. Pipe the batter into a greased donut pan, 3/4 of the way full. Bake the donuts at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
9. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack to completely cool.

For the Strawberry Glaze

1. While they are cooling make the icing by pureeing a few strawberries, enough to make 2-3 tbsp of puree.
2. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar in a bowl and add 2 tbsp of the strawberry puree. Mix until all the powdered sugar is dissolved. If it is too dry add a little bit more of the strawberry puree. It should be a very thick icing.
3. Dip each donut in the glaze. Sprinkle each donut with crushed freeze-dried strawberries if you desire. Let the glaze set and then serve!
