Ingredients
Doughnuts
- 2¼ cups bread flour
- 2½ tablespoons granulated sugar plus extra to roll fried doughnuts in
- ½ tablespoon fine sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2½ tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk non-dairy milk works too
- ½ tablespoon active dry yeast
- frying oil
Blueberry Cream Cheese Filling
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 8 oz cream cheese
Instructions
Doughnuts
- Place the bread flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, butter, egg, milk, and yeast into the bread machine and set it on the dough setting.
- Take the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about ½ in (1.3cm) in thickness.
- Cut out 3in/8cm circles and place them on pieces of parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise until it doubles in size, about 30 minutes.
- Heat your oil to 355°F (180°C) and fry each doughnut for about a minute on each side. Take them out onto a wire rack to drain any extra oil. Coat the doughnuts with granulated sugar after a couple minutes of cooling.
Blueberry Cream Cheese Filling
- In a small saucepan, heat the blueberries and maple syrup on medium heat. When the blueberries release their juices, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. You're looking to reduce the water content so your filling isn't watery.
- Take the pan off the heat and set aside to cool. Once cooled, add it to a blender to purée until smooth. Beat the cream cheese in a bowl, add the blueberry mixture, and stir until combined.
To assemble
- Using a knife or chopstick, poke a hole into each doughnut.
- Put the blueberry cream cheese filling into a piping bag with a piping tip. Insert the piping tip into the holes and fill the doughnut with as much filling as you like.
