Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice McCormick brand
  • 1 egg lightly beaten, large
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin cider or non-alcoholic pumpkin apple cider
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • vegetable oil for frying, or canola oil
  • sugar for rolling: stir together 1/3 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • pumpkin pie spice for rolling: stir together 1/3 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice

hot fudge

  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped, quality
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, pumpkin cider, pumpkin puree and butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir together until just combined.
  2. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and fill it with about 3 inches of oil. Fit the pot with a candy thermometer - you want the oil to be about 375 degrees F to fry.
  3. You can either take the dough and scoop it into the oil once hot, or you can lightly flour you hands and roll the dough into 1-inch balls so the holes are smoother. I did the latter.
  4. Once the oil has reached 375 degrees F, add the dough balls 2 or 3 pieces at a time and fry until golden brown (keep an eye on the oil temp!), turning over a few times, for 2 to 3 minutes total. Remove the doughnut holes and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess grease.
  5. Once the doughnuts are finished, roll them in the mixture of the sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Serve with the hot fudge!

hot fudge

  1. Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat just until the cream bubbles around the edges. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir it thoroughly until smooth and a chocolate fudge ganache forms. Use immediately for dipping.
