Ingredients
For the Batter:
- 10 TB unsalted butter room temp, plus more for pan
- 3 cups all purpose flour plus more for pan
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp table salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- ⅓ cup buttermilk
- 1 ¼ cups pure pumpkin puree from a 15 oz can
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
For the Coating:
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour 48 mini muffin cups.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and pumpkin puree. In the bowl of stand mixer, fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs on eat a time, scraping down bowl as needed. Switch mixer to low speed; add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of the pumpkin mixture. Finally use a rubber spatula to fold in any remaining flour streaks, but take care not to over-mix.
- Divide batter into mini muffin cups (about 1 level Tablespoon each); use oiled or damp hands to smooth out surface of dough balls. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 8-10 minutes. If needed, repeat in batches until all donuts are baked.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Coating: In a bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon; whisk to combine well and set aside. In a separate bowl, set aside melted butter.
- As donuts are finished baking, let them cool a few minutes until they can easily be removed. Brush warm donut holes with melted butter, toss to coat in cinnamon-sugar mixture, and serve warm.
Notes
- Do not dip in butter/roll in cinnamon sugar until just before serving. Otherwise, the coating may lose its crispness.Batter is not very sweet, since cinnamon sugar coating is quite sweet.
