Ingredients
Donuts
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp milk (1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp milk total)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Topping
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
- Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Add pumpkin puree and 1/4 cup of milk. Stir until a dough starts to form. If the mixture is too dry/crumbly, add more milk in one tablespoon increments.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it's smooth.
- Separate the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope shape. Press the 2 ends together to form a circle.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 F.
- Place the donuts in the air fryer basket. Make sure you leave space between each donut (don't let them touch each other). Brush each donut with vegetable oil
- Cook donuts in the air fryer for 8 minutes, until they are golden brown. Continue cooking in batches until you have cooked all of the dough.
- Transfer the cooked donuts to a wire cooling rack and allow them to cool.
- When cool, whisk the sugar and pumpkin pie spice together in a small bowl.
- Brush each donut with melted butter.
- Dip the donuts into the sugar mixture until well coated.
- Enjoy!
