Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and brush a 6-hole donut pan with melted butter.
  2. Sift together plain flour, caster sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and stir in the lemon zest in a bowl.
  3. Combine milk, egg, lemon extract, and whisk. Gradually pour in melted butter while whisking.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just blended.
  5. Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full and press fresh blueberries into the batter.
  6. Bake for 9-10 minutes until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the glaze by heating blueberries with lemon juice until softened, then blend and whisk in icing sugar until smooth.
  8. Dip each cooled donut into the blueberry glaze and let set.
