Description
Soft, tender baked doughnuts made with sour cream for moisture and finished with a vibrant blueberry glaze for a sweet, berry-filled finish.
Ingredients
For the doughnuts:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
For the blueberry glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp blueberry jam
1 tsp vanilla
2–4 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a doughnut pan.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk just until combined.
- Transfer batter to a piping bag and pipe into doughnut wells, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake 11–12 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, blueberry jam, vanilla, and 2 tbsp milk. Add more milk until smooth and dippable.
- Dip cooled doughnuts into glaze and set on rack to firm up for about 30 minutes.
Notes
Add lemon zest to glaze for a blueberry-lemon twist.
Fold fresh or frozen blueberries into batter for extra bursts of fruit.
Use almond extract in place of some vanilla for a nutty note.
Swap blueberry jam for blackberry or raspberry jam.
Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the glaze for crunch.
