Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a smaller bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
Add Melted Butter
Melt the butter and pour it into the flour mixture. Stir until small crumbs form.
Fold in Blueberries
Next, add the egg mixture into the flour mixture, and lastly fold in blueberries.
Prepare to Roll out Dough
Place the dough on a heavily floured surface and sprinkle the top before rolling out.
Cut out Donuts
Using a donut cutter, cut out the donuts.
Then, fold the extra dough gently into a ball to roll out again
Fry Donuts in Hot Oil
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or a large enough pot to fry 2-3 donuts at a time.
Test the oil temperature with a donut hole first. It should sink and then float within 10 seconds.
Fry donuts and let them drain on a wire rack, preferably over a baking sheet.
Add Glaze
While the donuts are cooling, add the glaze ingredients to a bowl and whisk together.
Dip each cooled donut in glaze or spoon over the top. Enjoy!
