Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and grease a 6-hole donut tin using cooking spray or softened butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, melt 1/4 cup of butter. Add 1 cup of sugar and whisk until creamy. Add 1/2 cup of whole milk, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
  3. Sift together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt into the wet mixture; fold gently.
  4. Fold in 1 cup of wild blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking too many of the berries.
  5. Transfer the batter into a piping bag and fill each donut cavity about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Microwave 1/2 cup of blueberries until soft, mash and strain for juice; mix with 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Generously spoon the blueberry glaze over the cooled donuts and let rest for about 20 minutes before serving.
