To make these donuts, you’ll need the following tools: a rolling pin, a donut cutter, parchment paper, half sheet pans, a large, heavy-duty pot, a deep-frying (or candy) thermometer, and baking sheets. You should have all or most of the ingredients on-hand: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, Cabot Unsalted Butter (softened), Cabot Lowfat Vanilla Bean Greek Yogurt, eggs, kosher salt, baking powder, pure vanilla extract, and 1 cup of fresh or partially thawed blueberries. If glazing, you’ll need powdered sugar, whole milk, and additional pure vanilla extract. Once the doughnuts are dry, they’re ready to be enjoyed!

Ingredients

    To Make the Doughnuts:

  • 3 ½ cups King Arthur All-Purpose flour

  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons Cabot Unsalted Butter, softened

  • 1 cup Cabot Lowfat Vanilla Bean Greek-Style Yogurt

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or partially thawed)
  • To Make the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. CREAM together granulated sugar and butter, in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract and salt. Combine well. Scrape the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula. Fold in the blueberries.
  2. ADD the flour and baking powder. This is a sticky dough. Turn out to a floured work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Lightly flour a doughnut cutter and use it to cut out the doughnuts. Place them on a parchment lined half sheet pans. Line a baking sheet with several layers of paper towels and set aside.
  3. ADD about 3-inches of canola oil, in a large, heavy-duty pot. Heat to a temperature of 375° F. Drop about 4 doughnuts into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden brown. Remove the doughnuts from the oil and allow to drain on the paper towels.
  4. COMBINE the glaze ingredients, in a small/medium bowl. Dip the doughnuts into the glaze on both sides. Let some glaze drip off before placing the doughnuts onto a baking rack, placed over a parchment lined sheet pan. This will help catch the extra glaze. Let dry and enjoy.
