Ingredients
  

For the Donuts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour providing that perfect texture
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar sweetness is key for these delightful treats
  • 1 tsp baking powder helps the donuts rise and become fluffy
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda works in tandem with baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt a pinch to enhance the sweetness
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk adds moisture and a slight tang
  • 1 large egg binds everything together
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted, adds richness and flavor
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract complement the flavors
For the Filling
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened, the star of the filling
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar sweetens the filling for that cheesecake taste
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries diced, adds a burst of flavor
For Frying
  • Vegetable oil for frying, essential for that crispy exterior
  • 1/2 cup additional powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  4. Step 4: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Step 5: Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. Step 6: In another bowl, blend the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
  7. Step 7: Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, use a piping bag to fill each donut with the strawberry cheesecake mixture.
  8. Step 8: Finally, dust the filled donuts with additional powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
