📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
baking powder2 teaspoons
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, buttermilk, egg, sour cream, and vanilla.

3
Fold the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients until almost combined, then fold in the frozen wild blueberries until just combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, fill a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with 2” of oil and bring it to 355°F.
5
Place a wire rack over a paper towel-lined baking sheet. This will be for the fried donuts. Set aside.
6
Scoop the dough with a spring-loaded two-tablespoon scoop and straight into the oil, frying for ⏱️ 3 minutes, flipping once to achieve an even color. Then, use a slotted wooden spoon to transfer them to the wire rack. I recommend frying only 6 to 8 donuts at a time. Make sure the oil returns to 355°F before frying the next batch!
7
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, freeze-dried blueberry powder, milk, and blueberry emulsion or extract until smooth. Then microwave for ⏱️ 1 minute until the glaze is warm and runny.
powdered sugar3 cupsblueberry emulsion or extract1 teaspoon
8
Toss each donut hole in the glaze until it is fully covered. Then, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the glaze, tapping the spoon a few times on the side of the bowl to remove any excess glaze. Return them to the wire rack and enjoy!
