Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cake flour plus more for rolling
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg use less if you don't love nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • canola oil for frying
  • 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar sifted

  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup hot water

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients on the counter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, sea salt, ground nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolks one at a time while continuing to mix.
  4. Stir in the sour cream or plain yogurt followed by the pumpkin puree into your butter mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add your dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. On a floured surface, roll out your dough to about ½-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles for your doughnuts.
  7. In a deep pot or fryer heated with canola oil (about 350°F or 175°C), carefully place a few doughnut rounds at a time. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown.
