Blueberry Cardamom Donuts with Vanilla Glaze
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15-18 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 12 donuts
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ tablespoons milk (or plant-based milk)
Instructions:
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and cardamom.
- Wet Ingredients: In a separate, larger bowl, whisk the sour cream, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
- Combine: Gradually mix in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, ensuring a smooth consistency. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour and Bake: Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full. Tap the pan lightly to ensure the batter is evenly distributed. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown on the edges.
- Glaze: While the donuts are baking, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
- Cool and Decorate: Once baked, let the donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a cooling rack. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze, then let them sit on the cooling rack to set.
Storage:
If you don’t devour all the donuts immediately, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
