Ingredients
- 120 gms – ½ cup fresh pumpkin purée
- 215 gms – 1 ¾ cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice + ½ tsp for coating
- 65 gms – 1/3 cup granulated sugar + 100 gms – ½ cup for coating
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 120 ml – ½ cup half and half cream I used 60 ml – ¼ cup heavy cream and 60 ml – ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- vegetable oil for deep frying + 2 tbsp for the dough
Notes
- To measure the oil temperature, I used a candy thermometer and the doughnuts came out perfectly, but if you do not have one, Kristy has this tip: heat the oil until “a cube of bread dropped into the oil browns in 30-40 seconds. If it browns faster than this, your oil is too hot and you risk fire. Turn it down! If it takes longer to than 30-40 seconds to brown, wait until the oil heats up properly”.
