  7. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut out donuts with a donut cutter.

  2. Fry donuts for 1 minute per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together pureed strawberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth to make the glaze.
  4. Dip the cooled donuts into the strawberry glaze and place on a rack to set.
