How To Make homemade pumpkin spice doughnuts

  • Step 1
    In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and butter.
  • Step 2
    Add pumpkin puree, mix in well.
  • Step 3
    For the dry ingredients, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice
  • Step 4
    Begin to marry the pumpkin batter and alternate with the evaporated milk, folding in gently.
  • Step 5
    Refrigerate the batter to firm for approx 1 hour before kneading.
  • Step 6
    Turn onto a lightly floured work-surface and knead well. Roll to approximately ¾'' in thickness.
  • Step 7
    Cut 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 8
    Fry doughnuts and doughnut holes, a few at a time, until golden (approximately 1-2 minutes on each side).
  • Step 9
    Remove using a slotted spoon or a spider and allow the excess oil to drain on paper towels.

    For 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).
