Strawberry Buttermilk Doughnuts

from Oprah

How cute are these!  Ok, I know that doughnuts aren't the healthiest breakfast in the world, but in moderation these look like a healthier version of the doughnut in that they are baked.   You can purchase doughnut pans at a lot of home good stores, or the website suggested that you could also bake them in muffin tins.


Ingredients: (Serves 12)
2 cups flour
1 cup cane sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup canola oil
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 tsp. vinegar
3/4 cup finely chopped strawberries, divided
1 cup powdered sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, stir together oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs, then add to dry ingredients. Stir just until combined, add vinegar, and mix thoroughly. Fold in ½ cup strawberries. Lightly grease a doughnut pan (if your pan has 6 holes, work in 2 batches). Fill molds three-quarters full and bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, make glaze: Whisk together remaining ¼ cup strawberries, powdered sugar, and 1 Tbsp. water, adding more water if necessary. Place doughnuts on a cooling rack set on a sheet tray and spoon glaze on tops. Let dry 5 minutes before serving.
