Where Does Pumpkin Spice Flavor Come From?

You may be curious as to where pumpkin spice flavor comes from. Honestly, I had to do some research because it had me so curious! Some would compare the Americanized version of pumpkin spice to British and Commonwealth mixed spice.

When it comes to pumpkin spice it is a simple yet powerful blend of spices. You will find nutmeg, ginger, cloves, ground cinnamon in pumpkin spice, you may also sometimes find allspice.

How to Store Pumpkin Spice Donuts

If you’re curious as to how to store these donuts, you can keep them in a closed dish on the counter. Putting donuts on the fridge can result in them drying out, so be careful. You can store these donuts on the counter for a few days. However, anytime I’ve ever made these donuts they have never lasted long!

Ingredients

• 1/4 c Granulated white sugar
• ¼ c Brown sugar
• 2 1/2 tbsp butter (room temperature)
• 2 lg Egg yolks
• 2 1/4 c All-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tsp Pumpkin spice
• 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 3/4 c Sour cream
• 1/2 c granulated white sugar
• 2 tbsp butter (melted)

Instructions

1. Mix together 1/2 cup white sugar and butter together in a medium bowl until it becomes crumbly. Add the 2 Lg egg yolks and stir until combined.
2. Add flour, baking powder and salt into a separate bowl. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 the sour cream into the sugar-egg mix and stir until these are combined together. Mix in the remaining flour and sour cream; then refrigerate dough until ready for use.
3. Mix 1 tsp pumpkin spice, 2 1/2 tsp white sugar, and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon together in a bowl.
4. Preheat air fryer to 350°.
5. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 3/4" thick. Using a 3- inch and a 1- inch cookie cutter, cut 6 large circles in the dough and then cut holes in the middle of each to form the doughnut shapes. Or, if you have a donut cutter, you will be able to cut the donut and hole at the same time.
6. Brush 1/2 of the melted butter over each side of the doughnuts.
7. Place 1/2 of the doughnuts into the air fryer basket and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the doughnuts from the fryer and brush cooked donuts with remaining melted butter and immediately dip into the cinnamon/pumpkin spice/sugar mix. Repeat these steps with the remaining doughnuts.
8. You may need to adjust cooking times according to your particular air fryer.
