Ingredients

for 10 servings

Donut

4 oz
cream cheese, softened (115 g)
½ cup
sugar (100 g)
1 egg
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
2 tablespoons
strawberry jam
½ cup
strawberry, chopped (100 g)
1 ½ cups
pancake mix (190 g)
1 cup
flour, plus extra for dusting (125 g)
vegetable oil, for frying

Frosting

4 oz
cream cheese, softened (115 g)
¼ cup
powdered sugar (40 g)
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
¼ cup
milk (60 mL)

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!

These donuts did not work, they looked nothing like they did in the video and the flavor of strawberry wasn’t really there. I would not make again

Would not make, good but couldn’t taste the strawberry flavor and a little bit tough. The dough was super sticky and wasted half the batter that stuck to my hands. Wouldn’t make it again.

I think that the only problem was which pancake mix to use I just used bisquick

I liked how this turned out but just wished the icing wasn’t so runny. I followed it exactly but had no luck. I’d still make this again though.. maybe tweak the icing somehow.
