Donut Mix ~ Just Add Water Recipe
This simple recipe for strawberry donuts uses shelf-stable food storage ingredients to create a just add water donut mix.
Servings: 6 donuts
Ingredients
Donut Mix
- 1 cup flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- [1/2 cup dried milk powder]
- 2 tbsp butter powder
- 2 tbsp egg granules
- [1/2 cup freeze dried strawberries chopped (optional)]
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- 2 tbsp melted lard coconut oil or crisco (optional- see note)
Strawberry Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- [2 Tbsp freeze-dried strawberries crushed into powder]
- 2-3 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Mix the powdered ingredients and add in water.
- Place the donut batter in a greased donut pan, using either a spoon or a piping bag.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
- While the donuts are cooking, mix up the frosting in a small bowl. It should be stiff, but smooth.
- When the donuts are done, remove them from the pan and allow to cool before dipping in the frosting.
- The frosting will setup in about 10 minutes, but they can be eaten immediately for a gooey treat.
Notes
To make a just add water mix for later use, mix up the dry ingredients (without water or oil) and store until needed. To prepare, simply add 1 cup of water to the dry mix. For better browning, adding 2 tablespoons of oil when preparing the mix, but this is optional. Adding vanilla when preparing is a nice touch too, but completely optional.
