Ingredients

For the donuts:

  • 3 Tablespoons butter softened
  • 1/3 c. sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 c.+ 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/4 c. flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 c. blueberries

For the glaze:

  • 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Add in the egg and mix well. Stir in the vanilla and lemon zest.
  • In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add half the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. Add in the milk and stir until combined. Add the remaining flour and mix until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Put the donut batter in a zip top baggie and snip off the end. Make the cut large enough that the blueberries will come out.
  • Pipe the donut batter into the prepared pan, making a round donut in each hole but making sure not to totally fill it as the donut will expand as it bakes.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cook on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Dip the tops of each donut into the glaze then put on the wire rack so that the glaze drips off.
  • Donuts are best eaten the day they are made but can be kept for up to 3 days in an air tight container.
