  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 121 grams cake flour (4.27 oz, 1 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (3g)
  • 113 grams granulated sugar (4 oz, 1/2 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 Tablespoon cake flour (7g, .25 oz) - for coating blueberries

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 ounces buttermilk (118mL, 1/2 cup)
  • 2 Tablespoons butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 141 grams blueberries (5 oz, 1 cup)

Lemon Glaze

  • 106 grams powdered sugar (3.75oz, 1 cup)
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk (as needed)

Blueberry Glaze

  • 106 grams powdered sugar (3.75oz, 1 cup)
  • 1 Tablespoon blueberry jam
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy donut removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined for a light and airy texture.
  3. Combine Lemon Zest and Sugar: In a small bowl, rub the lemon zest into the granulated sugar with your fingers until the sugar feels slightly moist and fragrant. Stir this lemon-sugar mixture into the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a seperate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted and cooled butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour these wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold using a rubber spatula just until combined.
  5. Coat Blueberries: Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of cake flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter, then gently fold them into the batter evenly.
  6. Fill Donut Pan: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a large plastic bag with the corner cut off wide enough for blueberries to pass. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan placed on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake: Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 14 to 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
  8. Cool: Remove the donut pan from the oven and allow the donuts to cool completely on a wire rack before glazing.
  9. Prepare Lemon Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice together until smooth. Add milk a little at a time to achieve a thick but pourable consistency.
  10. Prepare Blueberry Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar and blueberry jam together until combined. Add milk as needed to reach a thick yet flowing consistency.
  11. Glaze Donuts: Once donuts are fully cooled, drizzle with either the lemon glaze or blueberry glaze to finish.

Notes

  • Make sure the melted butter is cooled before adding to the batter to avoid cooking the egg.
  • Tossing blueberries in flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
  • Use a piping bag for easy and neat donut batter distribution into the pan.
  • Donuts must be cooled completely before glazing to ensure the glaze sets properly.
  • You can store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • For extra flavor, add a bit of lemon zest to the glazes as well.
