Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 3 Tablespoons (42 grams) butter, melted
  • 2/3 cup (132 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 2/3 cup (160 grams) sour cream
  • 3 1/4 cups (370 grams) cake flour or 315 grams all-purpose flour + 55 grams cornstarch
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (80 grams) dried blueberries

Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. Making the Dough

    Chop the dried blueberries and soak them in boiling water until soft. Cream butter and sugar, then add sour cream, egg yolks, and vanilla. Mix in the dry ingredients and blueberries until combined. Chill the dough.

  2. Rolling Out and Cutting the Donuts

    Roll out the chilled dough, cut out circles, and remove centers. Re-roll and cut more circles. Avoid overworking the dough.

  3. Frying the Donuts

    Heat oil to 375°F. Fry donuts until golden brown on each side. Check for doneness and adjust oil temperature as needed.

  4. Glazing the Donuts

    Heat milk, whisk in powdered sugar gradually to make a glaze. Dip each donut in the glaze and place on a rack to set.

Notes

  • Do not overwork the dough to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  • Ensure oil is at the correct temperature for frying to prevent greasy donuts.
  • You can customize the glaze by adding food coloring or flavored extracts.
