425g pumpkin puree
700g flour
1 shot of whiskey
1 packet of active dry yeast
180ml orange juice
100g sugar
grated orange zest of 1 large orange
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Warm juice in microwave until it hits 50C.

In a stand mixer, combine the orange juice and mix with the pumpkin in a large bowl. Add the yeast, eggs, whiskey, sugar, salt and orange zest and mix well.

Add the flour and knead until a soft dough forms (add more flour if the dough seems too runny).

Cover with a clean cloth and let it sit in a warm place for at least 2 hours.

Heat oil to 180C in a deep fryer. Spoon out large tablespoon size of dough into the oil and fry until golden brown, turning over as they fry.

Place onto paper towels to absorb excess oil and coat with sugar and cinnamon.
