PUMPKIN CORNMEAL DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder, salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and allspice together into a large bowl. Add orange zest and cornmeal; mix until combined. Set aside.

Add the pumpkin and melted butter, and beat until combined. Add the reserved flour mixture, and mix until the dough holds together. Cover the dough with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep pan over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer reads 365 degrees.
• While oil is heating, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/3 inch thick. Using a 3-inch doughnut cutter, cut out doughnuts, and set aside. Reroll scraps of dough, and continue to cut out more doughnuts. Mix together remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl, and set aside.
• Add 4 doughnuts to hot oil; fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn doughnuts over; fry until golden brown, about 1 minute more. Transfer doughnuts to several layers of paper towels to drain. Repeat until all doughnuts have been fried.
• Roll half the warm doughnuts, one at a time, in cinnamon sugar to coat. Transfer to a serving platter. Dust remaining doughnuts with confectioners' sugar. Transfer to the serving platter. Serve warm.

• Make the doughnuts: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and baking soda.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is thick and yellow, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the pumpkin purée until smooth and combined.
• Sift half the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined. Add the milk and stir to combine. Sift in the remaining dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour batter into each doughnut cavity. Bake until the doughnuts are browned, separating from the edges of the pan, and springy when touched, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the pans from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Remove the doughnuts from the pans and allow to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
• As the doughnuts cool, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla extract and whisk to combine until desired consistency. The glaze should drip slowly, not run, down the sides of the doughnut; add more milk if needed to thin it or more confectioners' sugar if needed to thicken it. Working one at a time, dip the top half of each cooled doughnut into the vanilla glaze. Serve immediately, or let cool completely, then store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 3 days.
