Strawberry Shortcake with Homemade Donuts
This recipe takes light, airy baked donuts and turns them into a quick strawberry shortcake. The donut batter comes together easily, then bakes up in just over ten minutes. While they're still warm, dip them in a simple milk and confectioners' sugar glaze. Split the glazed donuts, pile on fresh sliced strawberries, and finish with a dollop of whipped cream.

Mix the Dough
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 1/4 cups cake flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a stand mixer, blend the 2 tablespoons shortening and 1/2 cup granulated sugar on low speed until the mixture looks sandy. Add the 2 large egg yolks and continue blending on low speed for about 1 minute, until just combined. Alternate adding the dry flour mixture and the 8 ounces cream, mixing on low and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until everything is just incorporated.
