- 1 cup Libby's solid pack pumpkin
- 2 tbspns shortening
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup shredded bran cereal
- 2-3/4 cups flour
- 2 tspns baking powder
- 1 tspn pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tspn salt
- Oil
- Cinnamon sugar
In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add pumpkin and bran cereal, mix well, and let stand for 2 minutes.
Sift flour, baking powder, spice, and salt together. Stir into pumpkin mixture, half at a time. Cover, and chill 1 hour or until the dough is still enough to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-inch doughnut cutter. In a large pan, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees. Fry doughnuts a few at a time until golden brown and thoroughly cooked, about 1 minute on each side.
Drain on paper towel on wire rack. Repeat with trimmings to use all the dough. Dip cooled doughnuts into cinnamon sugar. Yields 18 doughnuts.
