FAQs
1. Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
Yes, but thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using. This prevents a watery batter.
2. How do I get the donuts so tall?
The key is using baking powder and letting the batter rest for a bit before baking. This allows the leavening agent to work its magic and create a nice rise.
3. What can I use to glaze the donuts?
A simple powdered sugar glaze with a touch of milk or lemon juice works wonderfully. You can also add strawberry puree for extra flavor.
