Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 pint fresh blueberries, rinsed, hulled and patted dry
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Directions
In an electric mixer, fitted with paddle, cream the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, 1 at a time and beat until incorporated. With the machine running, slowly add the buttermilk. Switch the paddle attachment to a dough hook and add the blueberries. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add the flour mixture, 1 cup at a time, until the dough forms a smooth ball and climbs up the dough hook. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the fryer to 350 degrees. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to 1/2-inch thick. Using a doughnut cutter or 2 biscuit cutters, cut the dough into rounds. Fry the doughnuts in batches until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. In small bowl, whisk together the milk and powdered sugar. Drizzle the glaze over each doughnut and allow to sit until the glaze sets. Serve the doughnuts on a platter.

I also had to add a ton more flour for the dough to be workable. I used frozen berries so I thought that maybe that was the reason why, however, after reading the other reviews I am beginning to think that this recipe is somehow written down wrong. I made a donut, gave it a try, and threw the rest of the batter away. What a waste of great berries. This is the first Emeril recipe that I have ever been 100% disappointed in. I wish I would have read the reviews before attempting to make.

I had to use 7 to 8 cups of flour to get the dough thick enough to roll out. Since I used to much flour, there was no taste and you cant taste the blueberries or anything. I would not recommend this to anyone.

We used dry blueberries instead which worked okay.... They don't really have a taste and i don't think we will be making them again. They taste vaguely like muffins. I would not recommend this recipe.
