How to make the Mini Pumpkin Doughnuts

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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
