Frosted Pumpkin Doughnuts Recipe

These doughnuts take a little effort to make, but they are oh so good. We love them in the fall, particularly around Halloween

• 2 T butter or margarine, softened
• 1 cup cooked or canned pumpkin
• 1 T lemon juice

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar and butter. Add pumpkin and lemon juice; mix well. Combine the dry ingredients; add to pumpkin mixture alternately with milk. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5-6 times. Roll out to 3/8 in. thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2 in. doughnut cutter. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees.
