Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp melted butter
Fillings
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen)
- 1/2 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by spraying it with nonstick spray to ensure easy removal of the donut holes after baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined to create an even base for your batter.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the whole milk, melted butter, and eggs together until smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixes: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just incorporated to avoid overmixing, which could lead to tough donut holes.
- Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to preserve their shape and ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about halfway. Add a small dollop of lemon curd in the center of each cup to create a deliciously tangy filling.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the donut holes have risen and turned golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before carefully removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use fresh or properly thawed frozen blueberries to avoid adding extra moisture to the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the donut holes tender and light.
- Lemon curd can be homemade or store-bought according to your preference.
- Ensure muffin tin is well greased to prevent sticking of the donut holes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
