Blueberry Donuts Food

BLUEBERRY DONUTS

Steps:

• Fill a deep fryer or large pot with canola oil to at least 2 inches deep. Using a candy thermometer, heat oil to 360°F.
• While oil is heating, mix together the dough. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in the blueberries until they're well coated in the flour mixture.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla and melted butter. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until a sticky blue dough forms.
• Press dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick on a heavily floured surface. Use a donut cutter or two round (one big, one small) cookie cutters to cut out donut shapes, dipping the cutters into flour as necessary to prevent sticking to the dough. Gather and reroll remaining dough until all the dough is used. You should have 15 donuts and donut holes.
• For the glaze, simply whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and blueberry jam until smooth and thin enough to dip the donuts in. Add additional milk if the glaze is too thick or powdered sugar if it seems to thin.
• Once the oil has reached 360°F, carefully add donuts to the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd them. Let donuts fry for 15-30 seconds on each side, flipping twice, for a total frying time of 2 minutes or until donuts are golden brown. They cook fast so watch them carefully as you don't want to burn them.
• Transfer the fried donuts to a wire rack that's set over a rimmed cookie sheet or paper towels to let excess grease drip off before dipping in glaze. Repeat frying process with remaining donuts.
• While donuts are still hot, dip one side into and out of the glaze a few times and return to the wire rack with the non-glazed side down. Let glaze set or enjoy while they're still warm.

BLUEBERRY BAKED DONUTS

Steps:

• Donut Instructions Heat oven to 375°F. Spray or butter 2 doughnut pans well. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk and butter. Stir wet ingredients into dry mixture until just combined. Fold in blueberries. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Bake 15-17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and donuts have risen.
• Glaze Instructions In a medium bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla. Once donuts have cooled (5-7 minutes), remove from pan. Dip tops of donuts in glaze. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

BLUEBERRY GREEK OLD-FASHIONED DOUGHNUT

Steps:

• For the doughnuts: Mix the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder and salt with a whisk until homogenous.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter until smooth, then add the eggs. Add the yogurt and mix until smooth. Slowly add the dry ingredients, then add the blueberries and juice. Do not over-mix! If the mix is too wet, add a bit of flour. Cover and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
• Heat the oil until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 350 degrees F (less and you will get greasy doughnuts, more you will get burnt doughnuts).
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface, roughly 3/4-inch thick, then cut out the doughnuts into any shape you want. Drop the doughnuts into the hot oil a few at a time. Pay attention, this next bit is important; cook them just until they float, about 20 seconds. As soon as they float, flip them over. Once you flip them, do not mess with them!!! Just let them cook. When they are completely done on one side, flip them and cook on the other side. Again, do not mess with the doughnuts! Let them cook until done! Pull the doughnuts out and let them cool on a wire rack.
• For the glaze: Mix up the confectioners' sugar, milk, salt and lemon juice to taste. When the doughnuts are cool to the touch, glaze them. Then eat and enjoy.
