I grew up in Boston. There are few things about Bostonians you must know:
1. The love of our sports teams is a religion.
2. We were the first everything - public schools, public library, public transport and we will never let you forget it
3. There are no other donuts and no other coffee in the world better than Dunkin' Donuts.
Some call it Dunks others Dunkin's but Bostonians run on Dunks. Dunkin's coffee runs in our veins - that and our love of the Red Sox. So tackling the dubious task of making donuts from scratch that live up to the Dunks I grew up with was no easy feat, but I love a challenge.
Earl Grey Infused Donuts with a Lemon Blueberry Glaze
Servings: 12 Donuts
Active Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Donuts
1 1/4 Cups Flour
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Earl Grey Tea Bags
1/3 Cup Melted Butter
1/2 Cup Milk
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla
**Recipe adapted from The Honest Company
Glaze
1/3 Cup Blueberries
2 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour the milk into a liquid measuring cup and add 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, vanilla and whisk together. Add the flour, sugar, tea, baking powder, and salt. pour half of the milk mixture into the bowl and begin to combine. Add the remaining milk and mix until the batter is smooth and sticky.
Fill a pastry bag, or a large ziplock bag with the donut batter. Cut a large opening into the bag and pipe donut batter into a greased donut pan. Place in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Dredge in granulated sugar while still warm and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile pour the blueberries into a small saucepan with the lemon juice, lemon zest, and 4 tbsp of confectioners sugar and simmer on medium/low heat until it comes to a simmer and the blueberries get soft and the mixture becomes syrupy. Take it off the heat and add the confectioners sugar. The mixture should be thick and spreadable.
Dip the donuts into the glaze and set them on a cooling rack to set.
Serve fresh!
