PUMPKIN SPICE DONUT HOLES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Note: make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ginger, 1 tablespoon nutmeg, and ½ tablespoon cloves; use 2 teaspoons in the dough, and 3 tablespoons in the topping mixture.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, egg, and butter.
• Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir together with rubber spatula until fully incorporated. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a frying pan to 325˚F (160˚C).
• While oil is heating, use your hands to shape and roll the pumpkin donut dough into balls. (Greasing your hands with oil will make this process much easier).
• Fry the dough balls until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. (For best results, fry only 3-4 at a time).
• Drain them on a paper towel and immediately transfer to bowl of the pumpkin pie spice-sugar mix. Gently toss to coat.
• Enjoy!

DABO KOLO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• In a clean mixing bowl, combine and mix dry ingredients (flour, berberé, sugar, and salt).
• Slowly add the water and mix so as to form a thick paste. Remove the mixture from the bowl and knead it on a lightly-floured surface for a few minutes to form a thick dough. Add the softened butter and knead for an additional five minutes. Let the dough rest in a cool place for ten minutes.
• Divide the dough into handful-size pieces and roll these into long "pencils" not quite as thick as your small finger. Cut these rolls into pieces (scissors can be used), each piece no longer than the width of your finger.
• Heat an ungreased skillet over a medium heat. Place enough of the uncooked dabo kolo in the skillet to loosely cover the bottom. (They may have to be cooked in batches.) Cook over medium heat, stirring periodically, until they are lightly browned on all sides, -- OR -- Arrange on a baking sheet. Bake in a hot oven for twenty to thirty minutes, stirring or shaking the pan a few times to prevent sticking.
• When done, remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Store in dry air-tight containers.
• **A more traditional way of making Dabo Kolo is to mix the flour and warm water to form dough then cook the dough on a skillet or griddle, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it forms itself into balls, then continuing to cook them until they are browned. While still hot they are seasoned with spices and butter, then after being allowed to cool they are stored.
• **"Americanized" dabo kolo can be made by substituting ground cayenne pepper or red pepper for the berberé spice mix, though this would not suffice in Ethiopia. Vegetable oil can be used in place of the butter.

BAKED PUMPKIN SPICE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 6-hole doughnut pans with cooking spray.
• Combine sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder for the doughnuts in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix until smooth. Gently stir in 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour until just combined. Divide batter among the 2 doughnut pans, filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove doughnuts from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Gently transfer doughnuts to a wire rack (you can use a butter knife or small rubber spatula to help release them from the pan if needed).
• Combine sugar and pumpkin pie spice for the dusting on a large pie plate or in a resealable plastic bag. Gently coat doughnuts with the sugar mixture while still warm. Do wait until they have firmed up a little and aren't too fragile or they will crack and break. Best served warm.
