  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Either spoon the batter into the pan or put the batter into a large ziplock (or pastry) bag and squeeze into the pan, filling about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom.
  7. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 3 minutes before emptying out onto a cooling rack.
  8. Once cooled completely, dip in strawberry glaze (see recipe below).
