Ingredients

• 3/4 cups all
• purpose flour 2 Tbsp baking powder 3/4 tsp kosher salt 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg 1/8 tsp ground allspice 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1 egg 1 cup milk 1
• 1/8 cup pumpkin puree 1
• 1/2 tsp vanilla Oil (for frying) Confectioners' sugar (optional garnish)

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat a deep fryer (or large stockpot filled with oil) to 365°F.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger in a medium-size bowl. Set aside.

Whisk together the egg, milk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla in a medium-size bowl until well-mixed. Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and stir until the ingredients are fully combined and a thick batter forms.

Use a Tbsp to drop several dots of batter into the hot oil. Fry the beignets, turning 2 or 3 times, until golden brown and puffy, about 5–7 minutes. Move the beignets to a paper towel-lined plate.

Dust with confectioners’ sugar, if desired, and serve hot.
