Blueberry Buttermilk Donut Recipes

BUTTERMILK GLAZED BLUEBERRY DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 2 (6 cavity) doughnut pans with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, toss the blueberries in 1 tsp flour. Set aside.
• In another bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
• Using an electric mixer cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla and almond extracts. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
• Add the softened dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk beginning and ending with the dry. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl. Beat just until fully combined.
• Fold in the blueberries by hand until evenly distributed in the batter.
• Fill the doughnut cavities 2/3 full using a large Ziploc bag with the end cut off or spoon into the cavities.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean. Broil for 2 minutes to brown the tops, if desired.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then carefully remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the glaze. Add additional buttermilk 1 Tbsp at a time to thin as needed. Drizzle over the doughnuts.
• Store doughnuts chilled or at room temperature. Do not stack.

BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK DONUT RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and position an oven rack in the center.
• Lightly coat the doughnut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• To make the doughnuts, in a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and orange zest with a whisk. Melt the butter in a small pot over low heat and set it aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla with a whisk until it is foamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a large wooden spoon until completely combined. Gently fold in the blueberries until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Using a pastry bag fitted with a 1-inch round tip, divide the batter equally (using even pressure) between the pans, filling about halfway full. Alternatively, you can use a gallon-sized resealable plastic storage bag. Fill the bag and using scissors, remove 1 inch from one of the bottom corners and proceed with filling the pans as described above.
• Bake the donuts for 8 to 10 minutes, until they spring back when lightly touched. Remove them from the oven, invert the doughnuts onto a rack, and allow them to cool completely.
• To make the glaze for this donut recipe, in a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest with a whisk. Mix it together until it is smooth.
• To glaze the doughnuts, dip the top of each doughnut into the glaze and lift, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place the doughnuts on a platter and serve.
• These doughnuts are best served fresh.
• This donut recipe makes 16 large or 64 mini donuts.

BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK DONUTS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F
• Grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into a large bowl.
• Combine buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
• Pour buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients being careful not to over-mix the batter.
• Fold in the blueberries. If using frozen berries then toss with a little flour before adding to the mixture.
• Carefully spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each one ¾ full.
• Bake the donuts for 7-9 minutes or until donuts start to turn a golden brown.
• Test donuts for doneness with a toothpick or cake tester.
• Allow them to cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes and carefully remove.
• Once completely cool, dip one side into glaze mixture and set on rack.
• Glaze: Sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl.
• Add in the milk and vanilla extract.
• Whisk to combine.
• If the glaze is too thick, add additional milk a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

BLUEBERRY CAKE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray the doughnut pans liberally with cooking spray.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, and baking powder.
• Add the eggs and yolk to the mixer and cream until blended.
• In 4 to 6 stages, alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk, mixing on medium-low the whole time and constantly scraping down the sides. Once the additions are done, turn the mixer to its lowest setting and gently add the blueberries, mixing just until evenly incorporated and the batter is a nice shade of blue.
• Fill a large piping bag with the batter and fill each well in the pans about two-thirds full.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the dough springs back when poked for regular doughnuts, or 8 to 10 minutes for mini doughnuts.
• When cool, dip the doughnuts into the glaze and shake off the excess. Place them on a wire rack so the glaze soaks in and gets a little crunchy on the outside.
• In a big bowl, combine all the ingredients and whisk together. Adjust the consistency by adding either milk (to thin) or powdered sugar (to thicken).

BUTTERMILK DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk buttermilk, white sugar, and eggs together in a bowl. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in another bowl. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until combined; add butter and knead until a soft dough forms.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface and roll to 1/4-inch thick. Cut dough into doughnut shapes using a 2 1/2-inch doughnut cutter.
• Beat confectioners' sugar, margarine, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until desired glaze-consistency is reached.
• Working in batches, cook doughnuts in hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cooked doughnuts to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Dip hot doughnuts into glaze to coat.

BAKED BUTTERMILK DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Adjust an oven rack to upper-middle position. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
• Sift flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a smaller bowl.
• Pour melted and cooled shortening into flour mixture and stir until absorbed. Add buttermilk mixture and mix well. Let batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Pour a scant tablespoon of batter into the well of each donut cup in the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to distribute batter evenly across the bottom of each; you won't use up all of the batter in this batch.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before removing onto a wire rack.
• Place powdered sugar into a small paper bag. Toss warm doughnuts in powdered sugar to coat.
• Spray the donut pan with cooking spray again. Spoon batter in tablespoonfuls into the hot pan for the next batch.
• Bake donuts in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan and toss in powdered sugar.
