Yeast-raised pumpkin donuts are as addictive as it gets! The donuts are fluffy on the inside, while having a light crunch on the outside. Since this is a traditional German recipe, I am also calling them Berliners (what filled donuts without a hole are called in Germany), and YOU WILL need to make my classic German Berliner donuts next!

  1. Combine the luke warm milk and yeast and set aside for 5 minutes. It should be bubbly. If not, start over (your milk may have been too hot or too cold).

    150 milk

    7 active-dry yeast

  2. In the bowl of a standmixer, combine all ingredients for the dough and knead for 10 minutes on the medium-low setting. Cover the bowl and allow to rest in a warm spot until doubled in size, about one hour.

    500 all-purpose flour

    150 puréed pumpkin

    4 egg yolks

    80 granulated sugar

    60 butter

    1 pure vanilla extract

    1 pumpkin spice

    0.125 salt

  3. Divide the dough up into equal pieces (50 to 60 grams each - 1.7 to 2.1 ounces each, best to use a kitchen scale), and using flour-dusted hands, shape each portion into a ball. Allow to rest for another 30 minutes (covered up by a clean linen towel).

  4. Preheat frying oil (I used avocado oil) to 160°C/320°F and bake in batches (you will want the donuts to be able to swim on the surface) for 2 ½ minutes on each side (flip using your skimmer) or until golden on the outside.

    1 frying oil

  5. Remove with a skimmer and transfer to a wire rack to let excess oil drip off. Immediately coat in cinnamon sugar, then fill with pumpkin butter once cool enough to handle.

    0 cinnamon sugar

    1 pumpkin butter
