BLUEBERRY LEMON BUTTERMILK DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees and prepare a regular donut pan with non-stick spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix until well combined. Using a spatula, mix in the eggs, buttermilk, butter, lemon juice and vanilla. Do not over mix.
• Carefully fold in the lemon zest and fresh blueberries.
• Spoon the batter into your donut pan, about ¾ of the way full. This will make about 15 donuts.
• Bake for 9-12 minutes, until donuts are a light golden brown color. Once done, add the granulated sugar into a large baggie and carefully toss each donut in the sugar. It's best to do this before allowing them to cool as the sugar will stick better.
• Lay out on a rack to cool, serve warm or cooled. Store in an airtight container.

LEMON BUTTERMILK BLUEBERRY DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, granulated sugar and salt.
• In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, oil, vanilla extract and lemon zest. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture and whisk until just combined (do not overmix).
• Spoon the batter into oiled non-stick doughnut baking tin sprinkled with dry bread crumbs (to prevent mixture sticking to the tin). Bake for about 20 minutes in the 350 F (175 C) preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into donut comes out clean. If you're using fresh blueberries, donuts will be baked in 15-18 minutes.

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).

LEMON BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Position oven rack in the center of oven; preheat oven to 350 degrees; line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• In a bowl, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, butter, eggs, vanilla, buttermilk, zest, and lemon zest until smooth.
• Pour mixture into the prebaked pie shell.
• Place the pie plate on the prepared cookie sheet; bake 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the custard is set (may need to cover pie crust edges to prevent overbrowning).
• Remove to a wire rack to cool to room temperature before topping with the blueberries.
• In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, whisk the apricot preserves and the water together until melted.
• Strain through a fine-meshed strainer into a bowl.
• Add in the blueberries and using a rubber spatula, stir gently to coat.
• Pile the blueberries on top of the cooled pie.
• Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature; keeps lightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
