Donuts are found in many cuisines around the world, but Americans have embraced this dessert so much that it's practically a national icon. Every year on the first Friday in June, the United States celebrates National Donut Day, and two world-famous donut chains, Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme, also hail from America. However, their Canadian neighbors are also very fond of this delicacy, and it's not hard to guess that maple-glazed donuts are the most popular in Canada. The secret to this popularity lies in the combination of fluffy dough and sweet glaze, complemented by the aromas of spices. This dessert goes perfectly with a morning cup of coffee.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Heat vegetable oil to 190°C in a large Dutch oven.
In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients.

In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, buttermilk, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and almond extract until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. The dough should be very sticky.
Flour your countertop and hands. Using your hands, stretch the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch (1.2 cm). Dip a 3-inch (7.5 cm) round cookie cutter in flour and cut out donuts. Using a 3-inch (2 cm) cookie cutter, cut a hole in the center of the donuts. Combine all the scraps and stretch the dough again. Cut out new donuts.
Fry the donuts in hot oil until golden brown and crisp, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a wire rack set over a tray to cool and drain off excess oil.
Once the donuts have cooled, sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar or dip the tops in maple glaze, depending on your preference. Alternatively, you can spread the glaze with a butter knife.
Maple Glaze:

In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, maple extract, and milk; mix thoroughly. Add more milk, if necessary, to achieve the desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the donuts.
