pumpkin donuts

2 c unbleached all purpose flour
2 tbsp raw sugar
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp powdered ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon

In a separate bowl:

1 c coconut or almond milk
1/4 c melted butter
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

1. Fill a 12" skillet with 1" coconut oil. Heat oil to 350 and begin forming your doughnut shapes remembering to keep your hands flour-ed because the dough is sticky!

2. Drop donuts into oil making sure they do not touch the donuts on either side. If making traditional donut shapes, add a dash of water to help the circle connect.

3. Fry for 2-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

4. While donuts are frying, you can mix the filling:

1 part pumpkin butter
1 part fresh pumpkin or sweet or cream cheese

Mix well and add to a pastry bag

5. Once you remove the donuts from the heat, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Immediately fill with filling mixture by inserting the pastry bag tip a little bit more than halfway into the donut hole or by filling the traditional circular donut's open center.

6. Enjoy warm!
