PUMPKIN DONUTS WITHMAPLE ICING Ingredients For the pumpkin donuts: 1 cup all-purpose flour, leveled 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup pumpkin puree 1/4 cup milk 1 large egg room temperature 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup 1 tablespoon milk, use more as needed Pinch Kosher Salt Instructions To make the PUMPKIN DONUTS: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a donut pan (6-count pan) with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the brown sugar, pumpkin, milk, egg, butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, lightly stirring until combined. Place donut filling into an icing bag or a zip-top bag. If you are using a zip- top bag, cut an opening for piping the mixture into the donut pan. Pipe the batter evenly between all 6 donut cavities. Bake at 350°F for 8 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 3 minutes or until you can easily handle the donuts. Remove the donuts to a cooking rack placed over wax paper and continue to allow the donuts to cool while you make the icing. For the MAPLE ICING: In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, milk, and salt until well combined. If the icing is a little too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out. Dip the tops of each cooled donut into the glaze and transfer back to the wire rack to let the glaze harden for about 10-15 minutes. I like to dip them a second time for a thicker icing. Serve and enjoy! Recipe Note: For a thicker icing, make a double portion and dip twice. Allow the icing to harden before eating! n Stacy Lyn Harris is the bestselling author of three cookbooks, founder of the popular Game and Garden blog, and a co-host of “The Sporting Chef ” and “Rural Heritage.” Her simple approach to sourcing and preparing delicious meals makes life easier for those who want great fresh food everyday.
