About
These Mini Pumpkin Doughnuts are proof that good things come in small packages. And when they are then flavoured with pumpkin and Lyle’s Golden Syrup, deep-fried, and dusted in sugar…it’s got it all! Oh, and did we mention it comes together in 15 minutes?
How to make the Mini Pumpkin Doughnuts
In a bowl, using a whisk, mix together the flour, eggs, pumpkin purée, Lyle’s Golden Syrup, salt, melted butter, baking powder, vanilla and rum until combined. Make sure not to over-mix.
The batter should be quite thick, like a thick pancake batter. If you’re not in a rush leave the batter to rest for 30min in room temp before frying.
Meanwhile, make the chocolate dipping sauce. Heat the whipping cream, Lyle’s Golden Syrup, butter, a pinch of salt and chopped dark chocolate until thick and creamy. Whisk it continuously on medium-high heat. This should ensure that your chocolate doesn’t split because of the temperature being too high.
Transfer half of the batter into a piping bag, or you can use a small plastic freezer bag. Cut the end of the bag, approx 2cm wide. Heat the sunflower oil in a small pan (approximately 500ml) at medium heat. The oil temperature should be at around 170-180 celsius in order to ensure your pumpkin doughnuts will be cooked all the way through.
Pipe little balls above the pan by cutting the mixture that is coming out of the bag with scissors. Fry them for approx 3-4min until golden brown. Get them out on a kitchen towel to soak up any excess oil, then transfer them to a plate with caster sugar and gently coat each doughnut in it. Serve immediately while still warm with that finger-licking dark chocolate dipping sauce. Enjoy
