Method
- Tear the stones out of the dates and place the flesh in a food processor with the flours, ground almonds, egg, a tiny pinch of sea salt and 70ml of water.
- Blitz until combined and forming a ball of dough, then roughly knead on a clean flour-dusted surface for just 2 minutes.
- Roll out the dough 1.5cm thick, then use an 8cm cutter (or a pint glass) to cut out two rounds. Use a 3cm cutter (or the end of a clingfilm roll!) to cut a hole in the centre of each one, then use those centre bits and the remaining cut-offs of dough to roll it out again, repeating the process until you have four doughnuts in total.
- Simmer the doughnuts in a large pan of gently boiling water for 5 minutes, very carefully turning them over halfway through.
- Place a large frying pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Drain the doughnuts well, then carefully transfer them to the frying pan to get golden for 10 minutes, turning regularly to build up a nice crust.
- Once looking good, add the blueberries to the pan, then drizzle over the honey. Jiggle and shake the pan over the heat for a couple of minutes, using a spoon to keep turning the doughnuts in all that lovely jammy blueberry juice.
- When it looks nice and shiny and the doughnuts are purple, ripple the yoghurt through the pan and divide between your plates. Nice with a sprinkling of cinnamon, to finish.
- Tear the pits out of the dates and place the flesh in a food processor with the flours, ground almonds, egg, a tiny pinch of sea salt, and ¼ cup of water.
- Blitz until combined and forming a ball of dough, then roughly knead on a clean flourdusted surface for just 2 minutes.
- Roll out the dough ¾ inch thick, then use an 3inch cutter (or a pint glass) to cut out two rounds. Use a 1¼inch cutter (or the end of a paper towel roll!) to cut a hole in the center of each one, then use those center bits and the remaining cutoffs of dough and roll it out again, repeating the process until you have four doughnuts in total.
