Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts Recipes

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:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 6-hole doughnut pans with cooking spray.
• Combine sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder for the doughnuts in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix until smooth. Gently stir in 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour until just combined. Divide batter among the 2 doughnut pans, filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove doughnuts from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Gently transfer doughnuts to a wire rack (you can use a butter knife or small rubber spatula to help release them from the pan if needed).
• Combine sugar and pumpkin pie spice for the dusting on a large pie plate or in a resealable plastic bag. Gently coat doughnuts with the sugar mixture while still warm. Do wait until they have firmed up a little and aren't too fragile or they will crack and break. Best served warm.

Steps:

• For the doughnuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Beat the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, butter, vanilla and eggs and together in another large bowl until smooth.
• Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and beat until just combined.
• Fill three 6-cup nonstick doughnut pans with the batter so that each mold is almost full. Smooth the tops with a moistened finger.
• Bake the doughnuts until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Invert the doughnuts onto a cooling rack.
• For the topping: Stir the sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl. Working one at a time, brush the doughnuts all over with butter, then dip them in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• To make the doughnut dough: Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice together into a medium bowl, and set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the sugar and shortening/vegetable lard for 1 minute on low speed, until sandy. Add the egg yolks, then mix for 1 more minute on medium speed, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula if necessary, until the mixture is light colored and thick.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three separate additions, alternating with the sour cream and pumpkin, mixing until just combined on low speed and scraping the sides of the bowl each time. The dough will be sticky, like wet cookie/biscuit dough.
• Transfer the dough to a clean bowl and refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap/cling film, for 45 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
• Meanwhile, make the pumpkin glaze: Place the confectioners' sugar, corn/golden syrup, salt, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin and vanilla in the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the machine on medium speed, add the water in a slow, steady stream and blend until all of the sugar has been incorporated, scraping the bowl a few times if necessary. Set aside.
• Using a candy thermometer to measure the temperature, heat oil (at least 2 in deep) in a deep fryer, large pot, or high-sided frying pan to 325°F. Roll out the chilled dough on a generously floured counter or cutting board to 1/2 in thick, or about 8 inches in diameter, flouring the top of the dough and the rolling pin as necessary to prevent sticking. Cut into as many doughnuts and holes as possible, dipping the cutter into flour before each cut. Fold and gently reroll the dough to make extra holes (working with floured hands makes the dough less sticky) and cut again.
• Shake any excess flour off the doughnuts before carefully adding them to the hot oil a few at a time, taking care not to crowd them. Once the doughnuts float, fry for 15 seconds, then gently flip them. Fry for 75 to 90 seconds, until golden brown and cracked, then flip and fry the first side again for 60 to 75 seconds, until golden. Transfer to a rack set over paper towels/absorbent paper.
• While the doughnuts are still quite hot, dip the side with the deepest cracks on each into the warm Pumpkin Glaze. Let dry on cooling racks, glazed side up, for about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine eggs, pumpkin, brown sugar, sugar, butter, oil, and pumpkin pie spice extract in a bowl; mix until well combined.
• Sift flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a second bowl. Add to egg mixture and stir until combined. Evenly distribute mixture amongst the 12 donut pans. Wet finger and smooth out the tops.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 12 to 16 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks, at least 30 minutes.
• Stir together powdered sugar, 1/4 cup milk, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice extract, and salt in a bowl until completely combined. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary to reach desired glaze consistency.
• Dip one side of the doughnuts into the glaze and place on a rack over a cookie sheet to allow glaze to set.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray donut pans with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Mix cake mix, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl until well combined.
• Fill a pastry bag with the mixture and fill greased donut cups halfway full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• While donuts cool, mix powdered sugar, almond milk, and pumpkin pie spice for glaze together until smooth.
• Dip donuts in glaze and place back on the wire rack until set, 5 to 6 minutes.

• 10/7/2010 -- OK -- lots of bad reviews -- I even noted at the bottom of my recipe that this has bad reviews and people continue to make and complain. This also has really good reviews, I've checked and double checked. If you're a cook and don't agree with the recipe -- move on to another recipe This is not my own, it came from Todd Wilbur who does the CopyCat recipes. I've made these -- they were great. If you think 30 oz. of Pumpkin is too much -- move in to another recipe, or use less. I am going to delete this, as my other recipe's have great reviews.
• Preheat oven to 350. Mix together spice cake mix, pumpkin, pudding and vanilla. Add sour cream, eggs, oil and spice. When blended well, drop a large scoop of batter into lined muffin tins. Fill to the top. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar. Bake for 30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
• The first reviewer of this recipe thought a 30 ounce can of pumpkin was too much, but that is the correct amount, and it comes out wonderfully moist. I've given this recipe to people who've raved over the results. I'm sorry to the reviewer that it didn't work out. It's frustrating to invest in ingredients, only to be disappointed.
