Berry Donut/Doughnut Kebab Recipe

If you are looking for something fun for this years 4th of July party, then look no further!  I was thinking about what to make for this weekend and instantly thought of strawberry shortcake.  I wanted to include blueberries too, to make it a little more festive.  While creating this recipe, I realized that angel food cake wasn’t right for the kebabs, so I made a classic vanilla donut.  Instead of doing a glaze or frosting, I served Cool Whip on the side and people dunked the donuts in it! Hope you enjoy!

Recipe makes approximately 20-24 mini donuts depending on how much you fill the pan. 

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 package of strawberries
• 1 package of blueberries
• 1 cup of flour
• 6 tbsp of sugar
• 1 tsp of baking powder
• 1/4 tsp of cinnamon
• 6 tbsp of buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp melted butter
