Ingredients

Scale

3 tablespoons butter, melted
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup sour cream
3 1/4 cups cake flour (or all-purpose flour with cornstarch)
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried blueberries
For Glaze: 4 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, milk

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until combined. Add egg yolks and vanilla; mix well.
Stir in sour cream until smooth. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in dried blueberries gently.
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or heavy pot. Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes).
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a cooling rack lined with paper towels.
For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with vanilla and milk to desired consistency. Dip cooled donuts into glaze.
