Ingredients
for 10 servings
Donut
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
- ½ cup (100 g) strawberry, chopped
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) pancake mix
- 1 cup (125 g) flour, plus extra for dusting
- vegetable oil, for frying
Frosting
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (40 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (60 mL) milk
Preparation
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add in the strawberry jam and fresh strawberries, and beat until combined.
- Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir in the pancake mix and flour until fully incorporated. (The dough will be sticky and pink in color.)
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and sprinkle the top with more flour.
- Press out dough until it is about half an inch thick.
- With a round cookie cutter, drinking glass, or mason jar lid, cut the dough in as many circles as will fit. In the center of each circle, cut a smaller circle with a cookie cutter or shot glass.
- Remove the cut donuts to another floured surface and gather up excess dough.
- Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all the dough is used up.
- Heat oil in a large pot to 350ºF (180ºC).
- Carefully place a few donuts in the hot oil, being careful not to crowd the pot.
- Once the bottom is browned, flip the donut over in the oil and cook the other side.
- Once both sides are browned, remove the donut and place it on a rack to cool.
- For the frosting: beat cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar and continue to beat until fully incorporated, then add vanilla extract, and finally add milk.
- Dunk the tops of the donuts in the frosting and garnish with slices of fresh strawberries.
- Enjoy!
