Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberry jam
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Special Equipment Needed:
- Doughnut pan
- Stand mixer or hand mixer
- Pastry bag or resealable plastic bag
- Small bowl
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a doughnut pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a doughnut comes out clean.
6. Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small bowl, combine the blueberry jam and confectioners' sugar.
8. Once the doughnuts are cool, fill a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag with the blueberry jam mixture. Pipe the mixture into the center of each doughnut.
