Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and optional cloves.
- In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, sour cream, melted butter, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
- While chilling, heat oil in a deep pot to 360°F (182°C).
- On a floured surface, roll the dough to about ½ inch thick. Cut out doughnut shapes and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Slide 3-4 doughnuts into the hot oil and fry for 1-1½ minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the fried doughnuts to a wire rack to cool for 2-3 minutes.
- For cinnamon sugar coating, blend sugar with cinnamon and toss warm doughnuts until coated.
- For an optional glaze, mix powdered sugar with milk and salt until smooth and dip the tops of warm doughnuts.
