Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Donuts
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 8 ounces fresh ricotta cheese, well drained
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Canola oil, for frying
Instructions
1
Combine the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl, stirring until well blended.
2
In another mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients of ricotta, pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a loose batter forms.
4
Heat oil in a deep-frying device or large saucepan to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
5
Using a spoon, scoop out a generous tablespoon of dough and then carefully place it into the hot oil using a second spoon. Fry in small batches for approximately 1 minute. If the zeppole do not turn over on their own after 1 minute, use a strainer to gently flip each one and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side, until browned. Remove with a strainer and drain excess oil on a cooling rack.
