Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus a few extra for garnish)

1 cup powdered sugar (for glazing)

2-3 tablespoons lemon juice (for glazing)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or lightly with butter.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

      In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well mixed.

        Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, taking care not to crush them too much.

            Using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off, pipe the batter into each donut mold, filling them about two-thirds full.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  For the glaze, in a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and drizzle consistency is achieved. If it’s too thick, add a little more lemon juice.

                    Once the donuts are cool, dip the tops in the glaze and place them on the wire rack to let the excess drip off. Garnish with extra raspberries on top.

                        - Presentation Tips: Arrange the donuts on a beautiful platter, drizzle some extra glaze over the top and scatter fresh raspberries around for a pop of color. Dust with powdered sugar if desired for added sweetness!
