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

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen)
  • 1/2 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by spraying it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy release of the donut holes.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the leavening and flavors.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the whole milk, melted butter, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, providing moisture and richness to the batter.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until incorporated to avoid overmixing, which can cause toughness.
  5. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, being gentle to keep them from breaking and coloring the batter too much.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity halfway. Then place a dollop of lemon curd in the center of each, slightly pressing it down.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the donut holes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted around the edges comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the donut holes to cool for a few minutes in the pan before carefully removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh or fully thawed frozen blueberries to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the donut holes light and tender.
  • Lemon curd can be homemade or store-bought; for a natural flavor, opt for homemade using fresh lemons.
  • Ensure muffin tins are well-greased or use silicone molds to avoid sticking.
  • These donut holes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
