Glazed Blueberry Cake Donuts

 

These delicious donuts are deep fried bakery style! These are easy and fun to make at home. Mix fresh blueberries into a cinnamon nutmeg dough batter, then deep fry to golden brown and dip in a sweet powdered sugar glaze. 

Ingredients: 

Oil for frying, about 2 cups

for the donuts:

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/8 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon salt 
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
• 1/8 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup blueberries

For the glaze:

• 2/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/8 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 C)

For the donuts:

1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. 
2. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk and vanilla. 
3. Stir melted butter into flour mixture forming small crumbles. 
4. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture. Add in blueberries. 
5. Place 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 is a very soft dough. 
6. Cut donuts using a donut cutter. 
7. 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. 
8. Repeat with the dough scraps until all the dough is used. 
9. Use long flat spatula again to move the donuts into the oil. Fry donuts 1-2 at a time, about 11/2-2 minutes per side. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet. 

For the Glaze:

1.  Whisk powdered sugar, water, and vanilla in a bowl. If it's thin, stir in powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time. If it's thick, ad more water one very small drop at a time, whisking constantly. 
2. Dip each donut or donut hole and let sit to cool before serving.
