• Cook about 2 minutes or until lightly golden in color, turning once.

STRAWBERRY BUTTERMILK DOUGHNUTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease cake donut pans with non stick cooking spray (I used 2 Wilton doughnut pans that hold 6 doughnuts each)
• In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until well blended.
• In another bowl combine the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and strawberry jam
• Add the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Mix until combined, then fold in diced strawberries. Carefully spoon mixture into doughnut pans, filling 3/4 full.
• Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Cool on a wire rack. Then make the glaze while the doughnuts are cooling.
