Ingredients
  

For the Donuts:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter previously melted and cooled to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest finely grated
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest finely grated
  • 7 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

  • Commence by preheating the oven to 350°F. Simultaneously, prepare the donut pan by lightly greasing it.
  • In a large bowl, meticulously sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Once done, set it aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, blend together the buttermilk, granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, previously melted butter, finely grated lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually incorporate the sifted dry ingredients into the blended wet mixture, ensuring a smooth batter.
  • Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the batter.
  • Transfer the batter to the previously prepared donut pan, ensuring even distribution.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and allow the donuts to bake for approximately 17 to 20 minutes.
  • Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool for a duration of 10 minutes. Subsequently, transfer them to a wire rack for further cooling.

For the Glaze:

  • In a suitable bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice until a smooth consistency is achieved.
  • Position a foil beneath the wire rack holding the donuts to capture any excess glaze. Generously pour the glaze over each donut, ensuring they are adequately coated.
  • Conclude by garnishing the glazed donuts with the finely grated lemon zest.
