Glazed Pumpkin Donuts

Ingredients

Donuts :

• • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter, softened

Glaze:

• • 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Stir all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl; add pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and softened butter. Beat mixture with an electric hand mixer on low speed until combined into a batter; spoon into a donut pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven until donuts spring back when touched, 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Beat confectioners’ sugar, melted butter, water, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Dip warm donuts into the glaze and let any excess glaze drip back into bowl before placing glazed donut on prepared baking sheet to cool.

 

Cook’s Note:

To make cinnamon sugar donuts, melt 1/4 cup butter and mix together 1/2 cup white sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon. When donuts are done baking, dip them in the melted butter, then the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
