How To Make homemade pumpkin spice doughnuts

Step 1In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and butter.

Step 2Add pumpkin puree, mix in well.

Step 3For the dry ingredients, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice
-
Step 4Begin to marry the pumpkin batter and alternate with the evaporated milk, folding in gently.
-
Step 5Refrigerate the batter to firm for approx 1 hour before kneading.
-
Step 6Turn onto a lightly floured work-surface and knead well. Roll to approximately ¾'' in thickness.
-
Step 7Cut with a 2½'' doughnut cutter. (Alternatively, cut with the small rim of any glass jar or cup and use a small bottle to cut out the hole.)
-
Step 8Fry doughnuts and doughnut holes, a few at a time, until golden (approximately 1-2 minutes on each side).
-
Step 9Remove using a slotted spoon or a spider and allow the excess oil to drain on paper towels.

Step 10For the icing, whisk together all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Spread over cooled doughnuts with a teaspoon (place on a wire rack over a sheet tray, if desired).
