Description

These delightful Blueberry Lemon Donuts combine the flaky texture of puff pastry with the fresh flavors of blueberries and zesty lemon. Perfect for a quick breakfast or an elegant brunch treat, these baked donuts are easy to prepare and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Donut Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 large egg (beaten)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the puff pastry: Lightly sprinkle a work surface with flour and place the thawed puff pastry sheet on it. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles to form the donut bases and tops.
  3. Assemble the donuts: Arrange 6 puff pastry circles on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly distribute the blueberries, lemon zest, and sugar over each circle. Top with the remaining 6 puff pastry circles and press the edges together firmly with a fork to seal the donuts.
  4. Apply egg wash and vent: Brush the tops of the donuts with the beaten egg to promote browning. Using a sharp knife, cut two small slits on each donut to allow steam to escape while baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the donuts are puffed and golden brown.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve your blueberry lemon donuts immediately for the freshest taste and flaky texture.

Notes

  • Make sure your puff pastry is fully thawed before working with it for easier cutting and folding.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen berries can add extra moisture that may affect puff pastry texture.
  • Feel free to dust the donuts with powdered sugar or drizzle with a lemon glaze for added sweetness.
  • Donuts are best enjoyed the same day they are baked to preserve their flakiness.
  • Substitute lemon zest with orange zest for a different citrus twist.
