These French Toast Donuts with Mascarpone Cheese and Fresh Strawberry Drizzle are a delightful twist on classic French toast. The donuts are fried to golden perfection and topped with creamy mascarpone cheese and a sweet strawberry drizzle. Perfect for a special breakfast or brunch treat!

Ingredients: 4 cups of vegetable oil for frying. 1 cup of all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. 1 teaspoon of baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon of salt. 1/2 cup of whole milk. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. 4 slices of day-old bread preferably brioche. 1/2 cup of mascarpone cheese. 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. 1 cup of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced. 1/4 cup of maple syrup. 1 tablespoon of butter.

Instructions: Heat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius in a deep fryer or saucepan.
