Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg optional, for a classic donut aroma
  • 1 cup whole milk room temperature
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 3.5 oz eggs, lightly beaten about 2 large
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted cooled slightly
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries for the glaze
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2.25 cup powdered sugar sifted, for the glaze
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract for the glaze
  • 1 tbsp whole milk add more as needed to thin glaze

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cavity donut pan.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  • Whisk milk, yogurt, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla in a separate bowl until smooth.
  • Fold wet ingredients into dry just until combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be thick.
  • Pipe or spoon batter into the pan, filling each well about two-thirds full.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes, until the tops spring back and edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool donuts in the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Simmer blueberries and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring and mashing until juicy.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove skins. Let the blueberry juice cool 5 minutes.
  • Whisk powdered sugar with the blueberry juice, vanilla, and a splash of milk to a thick, pourable glaze.
  • Dip cooled donuts into the glaze, letting excess drip off. Set on a rack to firm up; double-dip for extra color.

Notes

Variation: Stir 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh blueberries into the batter for bursts of fruit. For a citrus twist, add 1 tsp lemon zest to the glaze. Storage: Keep glazed donuts covered at room temperature up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 4 days.
