RECIPE
Pumpkin Donuts
This recipe is for all the pumpkin lovers out there and of course all the moms that love to bake with their kiddos.
This is a great recipe to bake with your kids. My kids all love to bake donuts with me, especially Isabella. Sometimes I premeasure the ingredients and have the kids add the ingredients to the bowl. Sometimes I let them measure the ingredients. They are great at whisking the ingredients together and mixing the ingredients with a spatula. They always love to mix things together. Isabella has gotten so much better with baking and is becoming great with donuts. Her piping the batter into the donut pan is getting much better. She needs very little help from me. I just have to make sure I don’t fill the bag so much. The hardest thing for me is that I know there will be a mess, but the memories and the smiles are all worth the mess.
Mixed the the dry ingredients together first, try to get the brown sugar clumps out. Next mix the wet ingredients together. I like to make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in the center. I feel like this helps with mixing the batter. However when I made these with Isabella, she just poured the wet ingredients in them.
I am all about dipping the donuts in the butter and then sugar mixed with some pumpkin spice. You can always switched out the pumpkin spice with cinnamon if you want. Either way it is delicious. You are gonna love these donuts!! Trust me!!
That’s the Dish from my Kitchen to your Kitchen ????
