Buttermilk Pumpkin Donuts Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk buttermilk, white sugar, and eggs together in a bowl. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in another bowl. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until combined; add butter and knead until a soft dough forms.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface and roll to 1/4-inch thick. Cut dough into doughnut shapes using a 2 1/2-inch doughnut cutter.
• Beat confectioners' sugar, margarine, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until desired glaze-consistency is reached.
• Working in batches, cook doughnuts in hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cooked doughnuts to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Dip hot doughnuts into glaze to coat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray donut pan with non stick cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl combine the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla. Whisk together well.
• Add the egg mixture to the dry mixture and stir until moistened.
• Then add in pumpkin and melted butter. Mix just until combined. The batter will be thick.
• Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan.(I used a small spoon to spoon out the batter into the donut pan). Dividing the batter evenly between all 6 donuts.
• Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the donut tops spring back after being touched.
• Let set in pan for about 5 minutes and then remove from pan and place on a cooling rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Adjust an oven rack to upper-middle position. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
• Sift flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a smaller bowl.
• Pour melted and cooled shortening into flour mixture and stir until absorbed. Add buttermilk mixture and mix well. Let batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Pour a scant tablespoon of batter into the well of each donut cup in the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to distribute batter evenly across the bottom of each; you won't use up all of the batter in this batch.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before removing onto a wire rack.
• Place powdered sugar into a small paper bag. Toss warm doughnuts in powdered sugar to coat.
• Spray the donut pan with cooking spray again. Spoon batter in tablespoonfuls into the hot pan for the next batch.
• Bake donuts in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan and toss in powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Resift flour with baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger into medium bowl.
• Cream butter in large bowl until fluffy.
• Gradually add ¾ cup sugar and beat until fluffy, about 6 minutes.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Beat in ¼ cup dry ingredients.
• Add pumpkin and buttermilk and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Add remaining dry ingredients and stir until just blended (dough will be slightly sticky).
• Cover and refrigerate atleast 3 hours or overnight.
• Combine brown sugar and ½ cup sugar in paper bag; set aside.
• Roll dough out on lightly-floured surface to thickness of ¼ to 1/3 inch.
• Using lightly-floured 3 ½ inch round doughnut cutter, cut out doughnuts and holes.
• Transfer to floured board as they are cut.
• Gather up scraps and repeat.
• Let stand 10 minutes.
• Heat 4 inches oil in deep fryer to 360F.
• Add ¼ of doughnuts and holes and cook until golden-brown, turning once, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer to paper towels using slotted spoon and drain 3 minutes.
• Immediately transfer to paper bag with sugar and shake to coat.
• Arrange on racks.
• Repeat until all doughnuts have been fried and coated with sugar.
• Can be prepared 1 day ahead.
• Store airtight.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Lightly grease or spray a non-stick 6 count doughnut pan. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the sugar, egg, pumpkin, buttermilk and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Fill the pan three-quarters full in each well. Lightly sprinkle the tops with brown sugar. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until golden and an inserted toothpick comes out dry. Let cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
• Recipe can easily be doubled. I baked for 12 minutes, but, depending on your stove temp, these might be better cooked for 10 minutes.
