Blueberry Fritters___
Fritters:
1 cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°.
1 pkg dry yeast
½ cup sugar
2 lg eggs
6 Tbsp butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp nutmeg
4 cups flour
1½ cups fresh blueberries
1-2 qts vegetable oil
Glaze:
2-3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup chopped strawberries
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
• Whisk the warm milk, yeast and 1 Tbsp of the sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, salt, nutmeg and 1 cup of the flour. Beat on low speed with the dough hook attachment for 30 seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the remaining flour. Beat on medium speed until the dough pulls away from the sides – about 2 minutes. Dough will be slightly sticky.
• Knead the dough for an additional 2 minutes.
• Place the dough in a medium greased bowl, and cover. Let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
• Punch down the dough in the center to break up large air bubbles. Turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Flatten the dough into an oval about ½” thick. Spread blueberries onto half of the dough and fold it over to seal the edges. Using the pizza cutter, cut the dough into 12 pieces crosswise, then make 4 cuts lengthwise. Divide the dough into about 12 pieces and form into dough balls, sealing in the blueberries. Let them rest as you heat the oil.
• Heat oil to 350°. Add 2-3 fritters at a time and fry until golden brown on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel lined plate.
• To make the glaze, puree the strawberries in a food processor. In a small bowl, add the strawberries, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth. Add powdered sugar if it needs to be thicker.
• Dunk each fritter in the glaze to coat completely. Let rest for 20-30 minutes for the glaze to set up.

Blueberry fritters!
Mom's neighbor has a blueberry bush and had a plentiful crop from them and shared with the neighbors. We decided to put the blueberries to use and make some fritters with the new yeast Sis and I bought. We used Red Star Instant rise yeast. We used a classic glaze for the fritters and boy were they delicious! You need to warm the milk in the microwave to temp 105-115 degrees. If the milk is too hot it kills the yeast and if its too cold it doesn't activate the yeast.
1 cup whole milk, warmed to 105 to 115 degrees
1 tbsp instant yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided into 2 containers
2 large eggs
6 Tbsp butter, melted and slightly cooled (make sure its not too hot)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
4 cups all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled), plus more as needed
1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 – 2 quarts oil for frying in a deep fryer like a dutch oven
Prepare the dough: Whisk the warm milk, yeast, and 1 Tbsp of sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla extract, salt, nutmeg, and 1 cup flour. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add the remaining flour. Beat on medium speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes. If needed, add more flour, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Don’t add too much flour, though. You want a slightly sticky dough.
Knead the dough: Keep the dough in the mixer and beat for an additional 2 minutes or knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 2 minutes.
Rise: Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or nonstick spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a relatively warm environment for 1-2 hours or until double in size. Ours took 1 1/2 hours.
When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and with floured hands, flatten the dough into a long oval about 1/2 inch thick. You can use a rolling pin if needed, you can also use your hands. Spread blueberries onto half of the dough, like a calzone. Fold the dough over the blueberries, then seal the edges. Using your hands, work the dough into an even log, making sure the edges are totally sealed. Using a bench scraper, cut the dough into about 12 even strips, then cut 4-5 perpendicular strips to make a cross pattern of sorts. This is NOT an exact process, so don’t stress. You really just need a bunch of small pieces of blueberry-filled dough! Divide the cut-up dough into 12 even pieces. Mold each into a round shape and try to “enclose” the blueberries inside the dough as much as you can. (They’ll fall out of the fritters otherwise.) Place the shaped fritters on a lined baking sheet, then cover and allow to rest as you heat the oil. They will rise a bit as they rest.
Place a cooling rack on a large baking sheet. Set aside.
Pour oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot set over medium heat. Heat the oil to 350°. This will take several minutes.Carefully add 2 fritters at a time and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Carefully remove with a metal spatula or metal slotted spoon. Place fritters onto prepared rack. Repeat with remaining fritters, then turn off the heat.
Let the fritters cool for a few minutes as you prepare the glaze.
Glaze
4 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix together after sifting sugar. Dip the fritters in the bowl and place on cooling rack to drip. It takes about 20-60 mins to harden. Enjoy delicious y'all!
