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.

I followed the recipe, using the full 4 cups of dough. Never came together in a smooth dough, no matter what. I allowed it to rest in the fridge as stated in recipe, but it was still too soft for rolling out and cutting. I decided to drop scoops of batter (it was a batter and not a dough in the hot oil instead, and got lovely, delicious "fritters" instead of donuts. They were absolutely delicious! Flavors were wonderful, consistency is not correct for rolling out. We ended up with a wonderful breakfast, but I was worried! The stars are for taste alone.

Berries burst while kneading. Dough was very gooey after adding another 1 1/2 - 2 cups more flour. Dough extremely difficult to handle. Had to throw entire batch away. Maybe frozen blueberries would work, but fresh did not. I will seek out different recipe. Expensive lesson learned.

These were pretty tasteless. I would probably double the sugar in the dough if I made them again. I didn't make the glaze so maybe that would have added significantly to the taste.

These were delicious doughnuts, well worth the effort. I used at least 4 1/2 cups of flour and the dough was still too soft, maybe it was the humidity. They were a little difficult to handle so soft, but they cooked up beautifully and tasted great. I used a little less milk in the glaze to make it thicker. The doughnuts are not too sweet so the glaze is a nice addition. These would probably also be good plain or with chopped apples and cinnamon.

The recipe is easy to follow and easy to execute. The crew loved them so much I had to make more.

Berries burst during kneading, requiring the need for more flour to handle the dough. Dough never did come together right, and the doughnuts I did end up with were very bland due to the excessive flour. I may try again, but next time I will use frozen blueberries. Was very disappointed.
