Servings: 30
Equipment
- doughnut pan My pan is a mini doughnut pan, and the rings measure 2 3/4 inches across. You can also use a full sized doughnut pan just add a couple of minutes to the baking time.
Ingredients
for the doughnuts
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin, not pie filling
- 1/4 tsp each: cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, allspice and cinnamon, or use 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups all purpose flour
for the sugar coating
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350F and lightly butter or spray your doughnut pan, even though it is non-stick. You can use a regular or mini doughnut pan for this recipe, just be aware that your baking time will vary. My pan is a mini pan, with the doughnut molds measuring 2 3/4 inches across.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, oil, sugar, pumpkin, spices, salt and baking powder.
- Fold in the flour, and mix until just combined. Don't overmix.
- Fill the molds 3/4 full with the batter. An easy way to do this is to put the batter in a large baggie and cut off the tip from one corner. Then pipe the batter into the molds. If you only have one pan, just cook the doughnuts in two batches, but remember to clean out the wells thoroughly between batches, and re-spray them.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Don't over bake, these doughnuts are small!
- Let the doughnuts cool just briefly and then ease them out of the pan and onto a rack.
- While the doughnuts are still warm, coat them with the sugar. I put the sugar in a bowl and toss them to coat generously.
