Time 45m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butterscotch chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and grease paper with butter.

  • Beat white sugar and eggs together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth and color lightens, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula. Add pumpkin, oil, and vanilla and beat on low until blended.
  • Beat flour mixture into pumpkin mixture on low until flour is just incorporated. Mix butterscotch chips into dough.
  • Drop 1/4-cup scoops of dough 2 1/2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten the tops of the dough with a spatula.

Provided by CarolynWG

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Time 1h

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup butter
1 cup water
1 pinch salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup confectioners' sugar, plus extra for dusting
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, or to taste, plus extra for dusting
½ (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place the butter, water, and salt in a heavy saucepan, and bring to a full rolling boil. Stir in the flour and beat vigorously until the mixture forms a ball. Place the dough ball in a mixing bowl, and beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding the next egg when the last one has been fully incorporated.
  • Drop dough by tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet, and bake until the puffs rise and are golden brown on top, with fully-cooked insides, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before filling. Cut the cream puffs horizontally with a serrated knife.
  • To make filling, place the cream in the work bowl of an electric mixer, and whip until beginning to thicken, about 1 minute. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and pumpkin pie spice until well-mixed, and continue mixing until the cream forms soft peaks, about 3 minutes.
  • Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/3 of the pumpkin puree into the whipped cream. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining pumpkin puree, folding just until incorporated.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin cream filling into each puff, and dust the top of each puff with confectioners' sugar and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice for garnish. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Pumpkin: For the best flavor and texture, choose a sugar pumpkin or a small pie pumpkin. These varieties are sweeter and have a denser flesh than other types of pumpkins.
  • Preparing the Pumpkin: To easily remove the pumpkin's skin, roast it in the oven until tender. Alternatively, you can microwave it for a few minutes. Once the pumpkin is cool enough to handle, scoop out the seeds and pulp.
  • Making the Butterscotch Sauce: To achieve a smooth and creamy butterscotch sauce, whisk constantly while cooking the butter, sugar, and cream. Do not boil the sauce, as this will cause it to curdle.
  • Mixing the Batter: To ensure evenly mixed batter, whisk the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. Fold the ingredients together gently to avoid overmixing, which can result in tough puffs.
  • Baking the Pumpkin Puffs: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking the puffs. Bake them until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, as this will dry out the puffs.
  • Serving the Pumpkin Puffs: Serve the pumpkin puffs warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can also drizzle them with additional butterscotch sauce or sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar.

Conclusion:

These Butterscotch Pumpkin Puffs are a delightful treat that combines the cozy flavors of pumpkin and butterscotch. With their soft and fluffy texture, they are perfect for a fall dessert or a special occasion. Experiment with different toppings and fillings to create your own unique variations. Enjoy these delicious puffs with your loved ones and savor the taste of autumn.
