Ingredients
  • **for the doughnuts**
  • 130g all-purpose flour
  • 6 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 Tbsp Greek Yogurt (plain, vanilla or strawberry)
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • **For the glaze**
  • 6-7 Strawberries, stems removed and halved
  • 1tbsp Strawberry jam
  • 130-250g Icing sugar, sifted
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven at 160°C(140°C fan assisted) and grease the doughnut tray.
  2. In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients together (flour, sugar and baking powder) and set aside.
  3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the wet (yoghurt, milk, egg, vanilla and melted butter), Slow mix the dry ingredients into the wet ones until it has just mixed. You do not want to overmix this recipe.
  4. Divide the mixture out into the pan so each is about ⅔s full. The best way to do this would be to use a piping bag and pipe the mixture in. If you haven't got one, just use a spoon but be careful about covering the hole.
  5. Bake in the center of the pre-heated oven for 8 to 11 minutes until the doughnuts have completely set and a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. While they are cooling make the frosting. Dust the strawberries with a couple of tablespoons of the icing sugar and set aside for about 10 minutes.
  8. Over a small bowl, push the strawberries through a sieve to remove all the joice/puree them. Add in the jam then the icing sugar gradually. Do this until it reaches the desired thickness (I like it very thick).
  9. Dip the top of each doughnut in the glaze and allow to dribble down the sides. Cover with sprinkles if you are using them (I did this by dipping them in).
