In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your eggs, sugar, and melted butter. Add in sour cream, sourdough discard, and vanilla extract, mix together until there are no more streaks left.
Slowly whisk in your dry ingredients until everything is just combined.
Fold in one cup of fresh diced strawberries.
OPTIONAL: Let your dough rest for 15 minutes to let the gluten relax. This will result in a lighter textured donut. It's not an absolutely necessary step, so if you need to, you can skip. But if you have time, it's worth it.
While your batter is resting, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
With a spoon, scoop a large spoonful of batter and transfer it into the donut molds, filling the space all the way to the top. This recipe makes 12 donuts!
Bake at 375 for 20 - 25 minutes until fully baked in the center.
While your donuts are baking, make the strawberry lemon glaze.
When baking is done, let the donuts cool in the mold for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
When the donuts have cooled completely, dip them in the lemon glaze, fully coating the top, and place back onto the wire rack or cutting board.
Enjoy your new favorite spring brunch :)
Strawberry Lemon Glaze
With a sharp knife or a blender, chop up the freeze dried strawberries until it turns into a fine powder.
In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and crushed strawberries until everything is combined. (the strawberries will start to rehydrate, and the glaze will get thicker, add 1 tsp of milk or extra juice in at a time until you reach your desired consistency).
