Pumpkin Doughnuts

Who can resist doughnuts especially kids right? It is such a sinful and rather unhealthy snack to enjoy which I rarely buy over the counter for the kids and of course I find it rather expensive to pay for a doughnut too! hahaha stingy Mummy :P Anyway it is really easy and simple to make some doughnuts at home and with added healthy ingredients like pumpkin up the nutritious value for this deep fried pastry :) 

Oooh so soft texture!
