PUMPKIN DOUGHNUTS WITH POWDERED SUGAR GLAZE AND SPICED SUGAR DOUGHNUT HOLES

Steps:

• For spiced sugar:
• Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl to blend.
• For doughnuts:
• Whisk first 8 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in large bowl until blended (mixture will be grainy). Beat in egg, then yolks and vanilla. Gradually beat in buttermilk; beat in pumpkin in 4 additions. Using rubber spatula, fold in dry ingredients in 4 additions, blending gently after each addition. Cover with plastic; chill 3 hours.
• Sprinkle 2 rimmed baking sheets lightly with flour. Press out 1/3 of dough on floured surface to 1/2- to 2/3-inch thickness. Using 2 1/2-inch-diameter round cutter, cut out dough rounds. Arrange on sheets. Repeat with remaining dough in 2 more batches. Gather dough scraps. Press out dough and cut out more dough rounds until all dough is used.
• Using 1-inch-diameter round cutter, cut out center of each dough round to make doughnuts and doughnut holes.
• Line 2 baking sheets with several layers of paper towels. Pour oil into large deep skillet to depth of 1 1/2 inches. Attach deep-fry thermometer and heat oil to 365°F to 370°F. Fry doughnut holes in 2 batches until golden brown, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Fry doughnuts, 3 or 4 at a time, until golden brown, adjusting heat to maintain temperature, about 1 minute per side. Using slotted spoon, transfer doughnuts to paper towels to drain. Cool completely.
• For powdered sugar glaze:
• Whisk powdered sugar and 4 tablespoons whipping cream to blend. Whisk in additional cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, to form medium thick glaze. Can be made up to 3 hours ahead. Add doughnut holes to bowl of spiced sugar and toss to coat. Spread doughnuts on 1 side with Powdered Sugar Glaze. Arrange doughnuts, glazed side up, on racks. Let stand until glaze sets, at least 30 minutes.

TIE-DYED WHITE CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUT GLAZE

Steps:

• Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, corn syrup and heavy cream until smooth, then stir into the white chocolate until combined. Turn the heat off and leave the chocolate over the double boiler, whisking occasionally to keep smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more cream and whisk until smooth.
• Divide the glaze between two bowls. With food coloring, dye each bowl a separate color (whichever you choose). Add the second bowl of colored glaze back to the first, pouring only along the edge. Use a skewer to swirl only slightly (when you dip your donuts you will swirl the glaze more).
