Ingredients
- 10 tablespoon unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- ¾ cup superfine granulated sugar or caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1¾ cup all-purpose flour or plain flour
- 1¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 oz pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoon evaporated milk
Ingredients for Bourbon Glaze and Topping (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar or icing sugar
- 3 tablespoon bourbon can be substituted for milk and a teaspoon of vanilla
- ½ cup crushed gingersnap cookie crumbs
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175C/155C Fan) and preparing your baking pans (see note).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about a minute). Then add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg into the sugar mixture. Beat until just combined.
- Finally, add the pumpkin purée and evaporated milk and beat to incorporate into a smooth batter.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag to pipe round the donut moulds.
- Bake in the centre of preheated oven for about 20 minutes, checking to ensure a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the donut comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes (until able to handle) before carefully unmoulding from the trays to cool on a wire rack.

Instructions for Glazing
- If choosing to glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and bourbon in a small bowl, until smooth.
- Carefully dip each donut in the glaze, coating the top (see images in the above blog post).
- Next sprinkle the donuts with crushed gingersnap cookies or dip to add extra crumbs.

Notes
- If using silicone baking trays, these do not require any preparation. If using more traditional donut baking pans, you will want to grease and flour these.
