Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a donut pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined.
Baking
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag or ziplock bag with one corner cut off.
- Pipe the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glazing
- Mash 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries and strain through a fine-mesh sieve to extract the juice.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and blueberry juice until smooth.
- Dip the top of each cooled donut into the blueberry glaze and allow excess to drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the glaze, pressing fresh blueberries on top.
- Let the glaze set for about 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure ingredients like eggs and milk are at room temperature. Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are desirable. You may also add lemon zest for added flavor.
