Preparation
- Note: make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing together 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ginger, 1 tablespoon nutmeg, and ½ tablespoon cloves; use 2 teaspoons in the dough and 3 tablespoons for the topping mixture.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until fully incorporated.
- Heat the oil in a large, high-walled pan untilt he temperature reaches 325˚F (160˚C).
- While oil is heating, use your hands to shape and roll the pumpkin dough into balls. (Greasing your hands with oil will make this process much easier).
- Fry the dough balls in the hot oil until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. (For best results, fry only 3-4 at a time).
- Make the topping: In a large bowl, mix together the sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
- Drain the donut holes on a paper towel, then immediately transfer to the bowl of pumpkin pie spice-sugar mix. Gently toss to coat.
- Enjoy!
