Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 teaspoons of the pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl.
• Whisk the egg, melted butter, milk and 1/2 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl.
• Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture.
• Working in batches, fry small scoops of the dough in 2 inches of 350 degrees F vegetable oil, turning, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a rack to drain, then roll in a mixture of the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and the remaining 1 teaspoon pie spice while warm.

Steps:

• Note: make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ginger, 1 tablespoon nutmeg, and ½ tablespoon cloves; use 2 teaspoons in the dough, and 3 tablespoons in the topping mixture.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, egg, and butter.
• Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir together with rubber spatula until fully incorporated. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a frying pan to 325˚F (160˚C).
• While oil is heating, use your hands to shape and roll the pumpkin donut dough into balls. (Greasing your hands with oil will make this process much easier).
• Fry the dough balls until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. (For best results, fry only 3-4 at a time).
• Drain them on a paper towel and immediately transfer to bowl of the pumpkin pie spice-sugar mix. Gently toss to coat.
• Enjoy!
