Bake at 420oF (215oC) for 12-15 minutes or until tops are lightly browned. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 10 -15 minutes before gently inverting the pan and taking the donuts out. When the donuts are cooling, whisk lemon glaze.

How to make lemon glaze

Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. If the glaze is too thick for your liking, add more lemon juice. The glaze works better when the donuts are still a bit warm. Once the glaze is made, dip each donut into the glaze. Place onto a wire rack to allow excess glaze to drip down. You can also use a spoon to cover donuts with the glaze.

Expert Tips

  • Blueberris can be replaced with raspberries or blackberries.
  • Lemon glaze can also be made with orange zest, if you like.
  • You can also add some spices to the glaze, like cinnamon or vanilla.

Recipe FAQs

How to store donuts?

If not eating right away, store donuts in an airtight container before glazing.ย Glazed donuts are stored for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, but they are best the day they are made.

Can I freeze donuts?

Yes, freeze donuts without glaze for a few months. I would not recommend freezing donuts with the glaze.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but I prefer to use fresh blueberries. If you use frozen blueberries, then do not thaw them, add frozen to the batter.
