Biscuit Doughnuts With Lemon Cream Filling And Blueberry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the filling: Combine the mascarpone, lemon curd and lemon zest and juice in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Cover and chill for 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a thin tip.
• For the sauce: Combine the blueberries, granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat so the mixture just simmers, and cook until the berries break down and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the lemon juice, transfer to a bowl and let cool while you make the doughnuts.
• For the doughnuts: Heat the oil in a Dutch oven until it registers 360 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Put a rack on a baking sheet. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and mix gently until a dough just begins to come together.
• Roll the dough into a square about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces and roll into balls. Working in batches (so the doughnuts have plenty of space to float in), fry the dough balls until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or spider to transfer the doughnuts to the rack. Let cool slightly. Pipe some lemon cream into each doughnut and then roll in confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately with blueberry sauce on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• The night before or early in the day, place 2 cups flour, 1/2 packet yeast and 2/3 cup warm water in a large bowl. Mix with wooden spoon until blended, cover with plastic wrap. Set aside at room temperature 10 to 12 hours. Mixture should double. Refrigerate if not ready to continue with recipe. Set 1/3 cup flour aside. Place remaining flour on a work surface. Make a well in center, and add risen flour-yeast mixture, remaining yeast, milk, egg yolks, 2/3 cup sugar, salt, lemon zest and butter. Work flour into other ingredients from outside to center, forming a sticky mass. Knead by hand or machine 10 to 15 minutes, adding more flour if needed, until barely sticky and very elastic. Place dough in lightly floured bowl. Cover. Refrigerate at least 1 1/2 hours. No more than 8 hours before serving, roll out dough to about 1/2 inch thick on floured surface. Allow to sit 20 minutes. Place remaining sugar on a salad-sized plate. Meanwhile, in a wok or large saucepan, heat oil 2 to 3 inches deep to 360 degrees (no hotter than 375 degrees). Using a 3 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut 8 rounds, or use a 2 1/2-inch cutter to make 12 rounds. Scraps can be kneaded briefly, then rerolled. Place in oil, and fry until brown, 90 seconds or so on each side. Place cooked doughnuts on several thick pieces of paper towel to absorb excess oil, then immediately roll in sugar on plate. Using a pastry tube, fill warm doughnuts with alternate mixtures. Or poke a hole in each with the narrow end of a wooden spoon, and force in filling through a funnel. Serve with ice cream, if desired.
• Wash and zest 4 lemons. Add the zest to the milk and set aside. Segment the lemons and place into an airtight container. Cover the segments with 1/2 cup of the sugar and let sit overnight. It is important to measure out all your ingredients before you start this process as the pastry cream can curdle very fast. Add 1/41/4 cup of the sugar to the milk and zest and heat over medium heat. Whip the yolks and egg with the remaining 1/4 cup of the sugar the cornstarch. When the milk comes to a boil, temper the eggs by adding a small bit of the boiling liquid to the eggs, then add the egg mixture back into the pot and cook until the mixture is thick and the starch has been cooked out. Quickly remove the mixture from the pot and pour into a bowl set over ice. Whisk in the butter, lemon juice. Let the mixture cool. Cover with plastic wrap so a skin doesn't form. When ready to serve, whip cream to stiff peak, and whip pastry cream smooth and fold together along with the lemon segments. Be sure to wipe off any excess sugar attached to the segments before using.
• Cook sugar and water to soft ball stage and add one pint of huckleberries. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 8 minutes.
• Strain the liquid and add it back to the pot along with the finely diced apple and orange zest.
• Cook the apples until dissolved. Strain the sauce and cool.
• Fold into the thick syrup the fresh huckleberries and use as the filling for the doughnuts.
• Cook lemon juice with 3/4 cup sugar and the vanilla bean to soft ball stage. Meanwhile cook the quince in water with 1 cup of sugar (the quince is peeled, cored and cut in 1/2) until tender, dice the quince. When lemon and sugar is ready, add the apples, cook until tender. At the minute toss in the quince.

Steps:

• The key to success in this recipe is to keep the ingredients cold and get the biscuits in the oven right away.
• Store the butter and cream or buttermilk in the fridge until they're ready - they should not be room temperature. If the dough sits out for any period of time, chill them for a few minutes in the fridge.
• Heat your oven to 425 degrees.
• Add the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder to a large bowl.
• Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly or sieve them to ensure they're fully blended.
• Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a knife or pastry blender, blending until the butter is pea-size.
• Create a well in the center of the bowl and add 2/3 cup liquid and mix gently.
• Add more liquid, one tablespoon at a time, if needed
• The dough will barely hold together, and have chunks of butter. Place it on a lightly floured work surface and add the berries gently. If the dough is very soft and warm, chill for 20 minutes.
• To shape the biscuits, you can roll the dough into a rectangle and cut into 12 pieces. Or, you can use a biscuit cutter. Or, you can scoop large spoonfuls of dough. There's no wrong way to shape the biscuits, just ensure they are uniform in shape and size. If you want, you can brush the tops with milk, or sprinkle with turbinado sugar, or do both.
• Bake the biscuits at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes. They will begin to become golden brown on top, and begin to crisp up. They should not be wet or shiny, but look light, fluffy, and delicious.

Steps:

• Butter three 8-inch layer pans, line with waxed aper and butter again.
• In a big bowl, beat eggs until thickened.
• Beat in sugar, 2 TBSP at a time, until mixture is light and fluffy.
• Sift together flour an baking powder.
• Reserve.
• Beat cream, vanilla and salt in a chilled bowl to stiff peaks.
• Fold whipped cream mixture into egg mixture, alternating with flour mixture and nuts.
• Divide batter equally among pans.
• Sprinkle each layer with 1/3 cup blueberries.
• Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes Cool in pans on rack for 5 minutes, then remove from pans and continue cooling on racks.
• Prepare Lemon Filling by beating butter, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until light and fluffy.
• Beat in yolks, one at a time, until well combined.
• Invert 1 cake layer on a serving plate.
• Spread with half the lemon filling; add a second layer and spread with remaining filling.
• Top with last layer and sprinkle top of cake with confectioners sugar.
• Garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon leaves if desired.
• NOTE: filling contains raw egg yolks so do not serve to children or the elderly.
• If this makes you nervous, you may substitute cooked lemon curd, but it is not as nice.

• Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Gently lift and fold dough four or five times, making a quarter turn between each fold. Place dough on parchment lined baking sheet. Form dough in a 7-8 inch square, approximately 1 inch thick. Using a floured pizza cutter or knife, cut 12 to 16 biscuits, leaving biscuits intact.
• Bake in upper half of oven for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cut or pull apart to serve. Serve with Blueberry sauce.

Bake 15-18 minutes or until light brown., In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients; stir until smooth. Drizzle over warm biscuits.

Steps:
