How to make Blueberry Donuts

Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 C). Click for a deep fryer.

For the blueberry donut

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, in a large bowl.

In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.

Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients, quickly stirring to disperse the butter and form small crumbs.

Stir the milk and egg mixture into the flour mixture with a spatula.

Add in blueberries, mashing some as you go along if desired. The dough will still be a little bit sticky.

Place the dough on a well-floured surface, sprinkle flour generously on the dough as you roll it out. Sprinkle more flour as needed. Roll out gently to about 1/2 inch thick. This dough is a very soft dough.

Cut the donuts using a donut cutter. Click for a donut cutter. Use a long flat spatula, like you would flip an egg with, (dusted with flour) to support them and move them to a piece of parchment paper.

Repeat with the dough scraps until all the dough is used. My donut cutter yielded 5 donuts and two donut holes.

Use the long flat spatula again (dusted with flour) to move the donuts into the oil. Fry the donuts 1 – 2 at a time, frying for about 1 ½ – 2 minutes per side.

After the first donut, check it by cutting into the center to make sure the dough is cooked through.

Finish frying the remaining donuts. Place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet.

For the donut glaze

Whisk the powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract together until a smooth, runny glaze forms.

If it seems too thin, stir in powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time.

If it’s too thick, add more water by one very small drop at a time, whisking constantly.

Dip each donut or donut hole in the glaze.

Let sit on a rack to cool.

Serve and enjoy!
