Pumpkin Donuts

Directions

1. Begin by heating oil in a sturdy pot on your griddle surface or side burner, bringing it to a temperature of 350 degrees.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined. The batter should have a thick and sticky consistency.

3. Using two spoons, lightly coat them with oil. Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of batter and shape it into a donut ball using the two spoons (refer to the video for a visual). Carefully drop the donut ball into the hot oil. Donuts should naturally flip back and forth to cook evenly, but you may need to turn them over if necessary. Allow the donuts to cook until they achieve a deep golden brown color, which typically takes around 4-6 minutes, while ensuring the oil remains at 350 degrees. Please note that the cooking time may vary depending on the oil temperature.

4. Cook the donuts in batches to prevent overcrowding in the pot. After frying, place them on a cooling rack or paper towels to drain and cool.

5. In a separate bowl, mix the glaze ingredients together. You can either drizzle the glaze over the donuts or use it for dipping. Additionally, you can roll the donuts in Snickerdoodle seasoning or cinnamon and sugar for a delightful twist.
