Ingredients

For the Baked donuts

For the blueberry glaze

  • 135 g Powdered sugar
  • 100 g Blueberry puree remove the seeds
  • ½ tablespoon Lemon juice freshly squeezed

For the decoration

  • Blueberry, Mint, Edible flower

Instructions

Make the Baked Bluberry Donut

  • Heat oven to 175 C / 347 F.
  • Prepare your Silikomart Donut mold.
  • Cream butter and sugar for 3-5 minutes until it becomes pale, then add the eggs, one at a time. Do not overbeat. Fold in the vanilla.
  • Sift in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold just until well combined with the help of a rubber spatula.
  • Fold in the blueberries.
  • Pipe the donut batter into the Silikomart Donut mold.
  • Bake for 25 min or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. If using very juicy or frozen blueberries, the baking time might increase.
  • Let the donuts chill in the fridge before glazing.

Blueberry Glaze

  • Sift the powdered sugar.
  • Hand blend the blueberries into puree and get rid of the seeds with the help of a sieve.
  • Cook the blueberry puree and lemon juice in a saucepan for a few minutes, just until it slightly thickens.
  • To make the glaze you will need about three tablespoons of puree. Mix puree with powdered sugar by adding puree one tablespoon at a time. You might need slightly more or less wet ingredient (puree) to the powdered sugar depending on the powdered sugar and humidity in your kitchen.
  • The glaze should be not too thick nor too thin.

Glazing the donuts

  • Before glazing the donuts, make sure donuts are nice and chilled (5C / 41F) and the glaze has the right consistency.
  • Hold the donut with your fingers and dip it into the glaze. Move the donut a bit for a few seconds then carefully remove it from the glaze. While still holding the donut with your fingers (facinng down), carefully remove any excess glaze from it with the help of your fingers on your other hand.
  • Let the glaze fully set at room temperature or in case your kitchen is too warm, place it into the fridge.
  • Once the glaze sets, decorate the donuts according to your liking with fresh fruits, dried fruits, edible flowers, etc.
  • Store the donuts in airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for 1-2 days.

Notes

INGREDIENT NOTES:
  1. Measure your ingredients with a digital scale for accuracy.
  2. All ingredients for the donut must be at room temperature to properly emulsify: eggs, butter, etc.
  3. For the glaze, sift the powdered sugar.
TECHNIQUE NOTES:
  1. Make sure you read my Expert tips section above to maximize your success. A short recipe alone is not able to cover all the necessary details and science behind baking. 
  2. If not using a silicone baking mold, make sure to grease the tin before baking to avoid donuts stuck into the pan.
  3. Never glaze warm donuts. Make sure they are chilled.
  4. For glazing donuts neatly, the temperature and the glaze consistency are key. If the glaze is too thin, mix in more powdered sugar. If the glaze is too thick, mix in more blueberry puree.
