- 50g caster sugar
- 80g butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 500g plain flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
For the Blueberry Filling
- 150g fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornflour
For the Blueberry Glaze
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 2–3 tbsp blueberry puree
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Extra blueberries for decoration
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Filling
Add blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornflour to the Thermomix bowl. Cook for 5 minutes at 90°C on Speed 2. Blend for 5 seconds on Speed 5 if you prefer a smoother filling. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Dough
Place milk, yeast, and sugar into the Thermomix bowl. Heat for 2 minutes at 37°C on Speed 2.
Add butter, egg, flour, vanilla, and salt. Knead using the dough function for 5 minutes.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured bowl, cover, and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 3: Shape the Donuts
Roll the dough out to about 1.5cm thick. Use a donut cutter or two round cutters to cut donut shapes.
Place donuts onto lined baking trays and cover lightly. Allow to rise again for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Cook the Donuts
For Fried Donuts
Heat oil in a deep saucepan to 170°C. Fry donuts for about 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
For Baked Donuts
Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.
Step 5: Make the Glaze
Mix icing sugar, blueberry puree, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust consistency if needed by adding more icing sugar or liquid.
Dip cooled donuts into the glaze and allow excess glaze to drip off.
Decorating Ideas
Top your donuts with:
- Fresh blueberries
- Freeze-dried blueberries
- Lemon zest
- White chocolate drizzle
- Sprinkles for a fun finish
Tips for Perfect Donuts
- Use room-temperature ingredients for the best dough texture.
- Don’t overfill with blueberry mixture or the donuts may split.
- If frying, keep the oil temperature steady for even cooking.
- Allow donuts to cool slightly before glazing.
Storage
Store donuts in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For the freshest texture, enjoy them on the day they are made.
