Lemon-Glazed Blueberry Doughnuts



Ingredients
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups blueberries
Canola oil for frying (whole bottle)
3 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Milk

Directions
1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter granulated sugar with an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until well-blended, scraping with a spatula as needed. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in sour cream.  Beat in about 2 1/2 cups of the flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time. Stir in blueberries. Stir in remaining flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Cover and chill 1 to 2 hours.
3. To fry doughnuts: Heat 3 inches of oil in a large, heavy bot to 365 F. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 3/4 inch thick. Using 2 1/2-inch and 1-inch round biscuit cutters or a doughnut cutter, cut out doughnuts and holes. Fry doughnuts and holes in batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Transfer to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.

4. In a medium bowl stir together powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir in enough milk, a teaspoon at a time, to make a glaze. Spoon glaze over doughnuts and holes, allowing excess to drip off. Let stand until set. Makes about 20 doughnuts and holes.
