Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 0.75 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure tender doughnuts.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat it out to about a 1/2-inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two round cutters (one larger, one smaller) to create doughnut shapes. Re-roll scraps as necessary.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain this temperature for consistent frying.
Carefully fry a few doughnuts at a time, flipping once, until they are golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried doughnuts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating. While the doughnuts are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Repeat with remaining doughnuts and serve warm. Enjoy!
