Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and grease a 6-hole donut pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted salted butter, granulated sugar, whole milk, large egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Sift all-purpose flour, baking powder, and table salt into the bowl with the wet ingredients and gently fold together.
  4. Carefully fold in the wild blueberries until evenly distributed in the batter.
  5. Transfer the donut batter into a piping bag and fill each donut cavity about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and edges are lightly golden.
  7. Allow donuts to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare the glaze by warming extra wild blueberries, mashing, straining, and mixing with powdered sugar.
  9. Once cooled, dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and let excess drip off.
