Haven't tried these, but they sound fun

For doughnuts: in a medium mixing bowl stir together flour , brown sugar , baking powder , pumpkin pie spice , salt , and baking soda.

Add pumpkin , eggs , milk , and shortening , butter , or margarine.

Beat with an electric mixer on low speed till mixed.

Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star.

Pipe onto 2 greased baking sheets in 3-inch circles.

Bake in a preheated 375 oven for 10 minutes , or till golden brown.

Cool doughnuts on a rack over waxed paper.

For icing: in a small mixing bowl stir together powdered sugar and vanilla.

Stir in enough milk to make a smooth icing of glazing consistency.

Spoon icing over doughnuts.
