Ingredients

Donut Recipe

  • 1 cup warm milk microwave for 1.5 minutes
  • 1 package fast acting yeast
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 4 tablespoons butter room temp
  • 3 cups flour
  • 3 tablespoons super fine sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temp (very important!)
  • 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Donut Recipe

  • In a stand-alone mixer, add in the warm milk and the yeast. Whisk until combined and then let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add in the egg yolk, flour, butter, sugar, salt and vanilla and mix with the dough attachment.
  • Mix for 4 minutes until everything is combined.
  • Remove dough and place on a floured surface. Knead into one large ball.
  • Spray a medium bowl with oil and place the dough in the bowl.
  • Cover with a dark towel and keep somewhere warm for the dough to rise.
  • Wait 1 hour for the dough to double in size... you can make the filling while you're waiting for this.
  • When the dough has risen, punch it in the middle (kinda of fun in a weird way!) and then make 1 ounce balls.
  • Place the balls on parchment paper so they don't stick too much.
  • Fill a medium pot halfway with canola oil and bring it to 350 degrees. Keep a thermometer in there so you can gauge the temperature, keeping it at 350 degrees.
  • Drop a few dough balls in the hot oil and cook on each side until golden brown... about 35 seconds on each side.
  • Remove and place in a bowl full of sugar (or a sugar and cinnamon mixture!) to roll and coat the donut.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Filling

  • Beat all of the ingredients on high in a stand alone mixer until smooth.
  • Refrigerate until donuts are finished.
  • Add the cream into a piping bag with a round fitted tip.
  • Poke a hole in each donut and fill with cream.
