DONUTS
Whisk together Baking & Pancake Mix, salt, baking powder, and spices. Melt butter, cool slightly, and add sugar, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well to melt sugar. Add pumpkin to liquid ingredients and mix well. Add to dry ingredients and stir well to combine.
Preheat oven to 375°. Spray donut pans lightly with non-stick spray, fill spaces ¾ full (pouring from a 4-cup measuring cup or squeezed out of a pastry bag, or ziplock bag with corner cut off), and bake about 14 to 17 minutes (donuts should spring back when gently touched). Allow to cool a few minutes before gently removing from pan to wire rack to cool.
GLAZE
Mix all ingredients together in a wide, shallow bowl and beat until shiny and smooth. Dunk the tops of the donuts in the glaze and allow to set up before serving.
Chef's Note: For the over-the-top version, use crispy bacon bits on top of the maple glaze. Of course, simply tossing in sugar and cinnamon is a great way to finish these delicious donuts.
