Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or use silicone molds to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.
Fill each muffin tin cavity about halfway with the batter. Then, spoon a small amount of lemon curd in the center of each cavity, followed by a little more batter to cover the curd completely.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove the donut holes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the donut holes have cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

Notes

If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, you can try using a regular muffin tin, though the baking time may need adjustment.

For a stronger lemon flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter or extra lemon juice to the curd.

Try a mixed berry version by swapping out the blueberries for raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
