Steps:
- Note: make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ginger, 1 tablespoon nutmeg, and ½ tablespoon cloves; use 2 teaspoons in the dough, and 3 tablespoons in the topping mixture.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, egg, and butter.
- Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir together with rubber spatula until fully incorporated. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a frying pan to 325˚F (160˚C).
- While oil is heating, use your hands to shape and roll the pumpkin donut dough into balls. (Greasing your hands with oil will make this process much easier).
- Fry the dough balls until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. (For best results, fry only 3-4 at a time).
- Drain them on a paper towel and immediately transfer to bowl of the pumpkin pie spice-sugar mix. Gently toss to coat.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 6-hole doughnut pans with cooking spray.
- Combine sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder for the doughnuts in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix until smooth. Gently stir in 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour until just combined. Divide batter among the 2 doughnut pans, filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Remove doughnuts from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Gently transfer doughnuts to a wire rack (you can use a butter knife or small rubber spatula to help release them from the pan if needed).
- Combine sugar and pumpkin pie spice for the dusting on a large pie plate or in a resealable plastic bag. Gently coat doughnuts with the sugar mixture while still warm. Do wait until they have firmed up a little and aren't too fragile or they will crack and break. Best served warm.

Here's some tips:
- Use fresh yeast or ensure your active dry yeast is properly proofed in order for the donuts to rise properly.
- Be sure to let your donuts rise until they are puffy and doubled in size. This will help them fry up evenly.
- Make sure that your oil is at the right temperature before adding the donuts. The donuts should sizzle when they are added to the oil.
- Do not overcrowd the donuts when frying them. Fry them in small batches so that they have room to rise and brown evenly.
- You can place a drop of oil in the hot oil; it should sizzle. If it doesn’t sizzle, it is not hot enough and needs to be brought up to temperature.
- Make sure your donuts are completely dry before adding them to the cinnamon sugar mixture. This will help the sugar stick to the donuts.
Conclusion:
These donuts are simple to make, and they taste amazing, and are perfect for any occasion. Be sure to enjoy them with your friends and family!
