- 2 quarts canola oil (heated to 350 degrees in a dutch oven on the stovetop)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:
- Heat the canola oil over medium heat up to 350-375 degrees.
- In a bowl add Flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, Ras el Hanout and Pumpkin Powder. Whisk well.
- In a separate bowl combine the egg, milk, sweet potato and 3 tablespoons of canola oil. Whisk and add to dry mix. Mix well and set aside.
- With oil preheated to 350 degrees, scoop 1oz balls of donut batter into the oil and fry for 3-6 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. You will need to flip the donuts half way and try to keep the oil between 340-375 degrees. If its too cold your donuts will not be awesome.
