Preparation
- 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!
