Pumpkin Pie Donut Holes
Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Pie Donuts:
- 72 ounces vegetable oil or enough for 2-inches of oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Maple Glaze:
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 to 4 tablespoons water
Instructions
NOTE: Most recipes call for the oil to be heating while you make the batter. I prefer to have my batter ready before I heat up my oil so I can watch it. The temperature can rise rapidly.
For the Pumpkin Pie Donuts:
- To a medium bowl add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and salt.
- Stir to combine.
- To small bowl add the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla.
- Stir to combine, add to the flour mixture and stir together.
- Line a cookie sheet with paper towels for cooked donuts to drain on.
- Pour oil in a Dutch oven, insert thermometer, turn heat on medium high, heat oil to 375 degrees.
- Once the oil has reached it's temperature, use a small 1 1/4-inch spring loaded ice cream scoop and drop pumpkin batter into hot oil.
NOTE: Watch the temperature for the oil, if it continues to rise even after adding the donut batter turn the burner down. I have an electric stove and had to turn my burner to #5 which is a medium setting. Once I did that the temperature stayed steady.
- Fry batter turning at least once for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked donuts to paper towels to drain.
For the Maple Glaze:
- Add the sugar and syrup to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze has reached your desired consistency.
- Place a piece of wax paper under a wire cooling rack. NOTE: Make sure the wax paper is as large as the cooling rack.
- Glazing only one donut hole at a time, completely submerge a donut hole in the glaze, use a fork or slotted spoon and transfer to the prepared wire rack to cool completely.
- Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
