Maple Glazed Pumpkin Donuts
We used Bell-View’s Grade A Maple Syrup to make this cake! Just in time for Fall!
INGREDIENTS:
Donut:
3 ½ cups flour
4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
2 cups pumpkin purée
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
4 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. Bell-View Grade A Maple Syrup
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tbsp. Bell-View Grade A Maple Syrup
4 tsp. Half & Half
Cinnamon Sugar Dusting:
½ cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Melted Butter
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease 4, 6-well donut pans (or break the batch in half) .
In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. Then, in another large bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.
Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture. Fold together with a spatula until the flour is fully combined. (Batter will be thick.)
Transfer the dough to a piping bag or large zip-top bag with one corner snipped. Pipe the dough into the wells of the pan, filling about 1/2 to 2/3 full.
Bake for 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes.
Then bit the bottom of the donuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture, set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Whisk in the maple syrup. Whisk in the water or milk, adding more if a thinner consistency is desired. Dip warm donuts in glaze. Let cool on a wire rack.
Add bits of cinnamon sugar to the top of the donuts.
