Donuts with wild blueberries from Lac-Saint-Jean and honey, a real delight!

This little sweet dessert was created and cooked by La cuisine à JO who chose two of our products to prepare old-fashioned donuts for us.

What can we say about the result? They are simply delicious, soft with a delicate taste of wild blueberries. This is the donut to discover!

Preparation time: 30 minutes

Resting time: approximately 1 hour

Cooking time: 2-3 minutes

Yields: about 12 donuts

Rehydrate the blueberries by pouring boiling water over them, let them soak for at least 10 minutes. Drain.
In a large bowl, add warm water, yeast and 1 tsp sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
Add remaining sugar, butter, milk, eggs, blueberries and salt and mix.
Gradually add the flour, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the dough forms a ball.
Place the ball of dough on a floured work surface and knead until the dough is smooth.
Place the dough ball in a large bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Let the dough rise until doubled in volume. About 1 hour.
When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured work surface and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Using a cookie cutter, cut out donut portions and place on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Heat the fryer to 375F, then cook the donuts for about two minutes on each side or until nicely browned.
Place on a cooling rack.

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar.
1/4 cup wild blueberry honey .
3 tbsp water (I used the water I used to hydrate the blueberries, it gives a slight purple color).

Add all ingredients to a saucepan, place over medium heat and mix until smooth. Note that the mixture must always remain warm, as it hardens quickly.
Dip the donuts and place on a cooling rack.

You can also simply roll the donuts in powdered sugar or enjoy them plain.
