Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for consistent frying.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to prevent overcrowding.
Fry the doughnuts for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining dough, ensuring the oil maintains its temperature.
Once the doughnuts are slightly cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy!
