Instructions
Prepare the Donuts
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a donut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing just until fully incorporated.
Spoon the batter into the greased donut molds, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Chocolate Glaze
In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate, double cream, and butter.
Heat over a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Decorate
Dip the top of each cooled donut into the chocolate glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
Place candy eyes on each donut before the glaze sets.
Optionally, place small round candies around the edges to resemble spider legs or create a playful design.
Enjoy, Good Appetite!
Happy Halloween!
