Spiced pumpkin doughnuts

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The flavours of autumn in a single bite. This recipe differs from classic yeast doughnuts: made with baking powder, it needs no proving, and its texture is more reminiscent of a moist cake or 'cake doughnut'. The fibre and moisture content of the pumpkin purée ensures softness, whilst the spices provide the warming scent.

  • Two spoons or ice cream scoop

Allergen Information

⚠️ Cereals containing gluten
⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Eggs

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, spices, sugar, and salt.

Tip: Even distribution of baking powder is critical for regular rising.
2 ✓

Purée the roasted pumpkin with the eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.

Tip: The pumpkin purée should be completely smooth, without chunks, for homogeneous dough.
3 ✓

Fold the two mixtures together, just until the flour disappears.

Tip: Overmixing activates the gluten, making the doughnut chewy and tough, not crumbly.
4 ✓

Scoop dumplings into the 175°C oil and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: The dumplings sometimes turn themselves, but help them to cook evenly.
5 ✓

Drain and sprinkle with icing sugar.

Tip: Blot excess oil on kitchen paper.
