Citrus Berry Baked Doughnuts With Pink Glaze Recipes

CITRUS-BERRY BAKED DOUGHNUTS WITH PINK GLAZE

Steps:

• For the doughnuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 6-cavity nonstick doughnut pans (each with 2 1/4-inch diameter wells) with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the granulated sugar, egg, milk, sour cream, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice and oil in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to the wet ingredients and whisk just to combine. Gently fold the frozen berries into the batter.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 12 to 14 minutes. Let the doughnuts cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove the doughnuts to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
• For the glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar and raspberry juice in a medium bowl until smooth. Dip just the top of each cooled doughnut into the glaze and let the excess drip off.
• For the topping: Decorate the glazed doughnuts with the sprinkles or crushed freeze-dried berries.

In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, 2/3 cup milk, 2 teaspoons of the vanilla and the egg until blended. Stir in blueberries. Spoon batter into resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off small corner of bag; squeeze bag to pipe batter into pan, using about 1/4 cup for each doughnut.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Immediately remove doughnuts from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat raspberries, water and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar to boiling over medium heat. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until thickened and syrupy. Strain; cool. Stir in 1 cup of the powdered sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla with whisk until smooth and thickened. Dip tops of doughnuts in berry glaze; let excess drip off. Let stand until set.

PINK STRAWBERRY DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• For the doughnuts: Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the granulated sugar, buttermilk, sour cream, melted butter, vanilla and eggs. Beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients, mixing until just blended. It will be quite wet, so refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Heavily flour a work surface and your hands. Remove the dough from the bowl, place it on your work surface and pat the dough into 9 1/2-by-11-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out doughnuts with a floured doughnut cutter to make 6 doughnuts and 6 doughnut holes. Pat out the dough scraps to make 3 more doughnuts and doughnut holes. Set aside on a tray.
• Meanwhile, fill a large heavy pot with 2 inches of oil. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Fry the doughnuts and doughnut holes a few at a time until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently flip and continue to fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. When both sides are golden brown, carefully transfer the doughnuts to a cooling rack lined with paper towels. Continue until all the doughnuts are fried.
• For the glaze: Combine the strawberries, water, vinegar and vanilla bean in a small pot over medium heat. Cook until juicy, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly then blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl, add the confectioners' sugar and whisk thoroughly until light pink.
• Move the doughnuts onto a cooling rack. Pour the glaze over the doughnuts and top with sprinkles. Let the doughnuts set for 5 minutes before enjoying.
