Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Filling

  • 1/4 cup blueberry jam or preserves
  • 1/4 cup lemon curd

For Frying and Coating

  • Oil for frying
  • Extra sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and lemon zest. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you achieve a smooth batter.
  2. Heat the oil: Pour oil into a deep frying pan or pot and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature for frying.
  3. Fry the donut holes: Using a small spoon or scoop, carefully drop small portions of batter into the hot oil. Fry the donut holes in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
  4. Drain the donut holes: Remove the fried donut holes with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. Fill the donut holes: Mix the blueberry jam and lemon curd together. Once the donut holes have cooled slightly but are still warm, use a piping bag to inject the mixture into the center of each donut hole.
  6. Coat with sugar: Roll each filled donut hole in extra sugar while they are still warm to add a sweet, crunchy exterior.
  7. Serve fresh: Arrange the donut holes on a serving platter and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature stays consistent at 350°F for even cooking.
  • You can substitute blueberry jam with fresh blueberries cooked down with a little sugar if preferred.
  • Lemon curd can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, use plant-based milk and butter substitutes.
  • Serve these donut holes fresh as they are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
