Gingerbread Donuts

These cute mini donuts use our Gingerbread Spice to bring holiday flavors to the breakfast table. We couldn't decide between two different garnishes in our recipe testing, so we included them both. Dunk them in the sticky maple gingerbread glaze or roll them in gingerbread sugar, according to preference. Can't decide? We'd advise you to split the difference and make some of each, like we did!For those who might be discouraged from trying doughnut recipes due to the frying involved, we are relieved to say that these were baked. After much experimenting, we decided the yeast donuts were best, and everything else came easy. Easy enough to, say, make a double batch and garnish your eggnog or hot cider for an extra special treat.

Presunto and Cheese Rolls

2 hrs, 30 min

These rolls are as soft as a Hawaiian bun, but savory from the bits of meat and cheese inside. We split the dough in this recipe into roll-sized shapes, but you can easily just split the dough into four pieces and turn them into decadent sandwich rolls. When they bake they get a nice golden cheesy crust and the inside is airy, soft and luscious from the olive oil, while the fragrant spices will have your stomach growling! They're perfect to accompany soups, salads or serve at brunch. They also make a great breakfast egg sandwich, or serve them with warm marinara for dipping as an appetizer for movie night. "Every Saturday when I was growing up, my mother would go to the local Portuguese bakery and buy a dozen chouriço rolls—torpedo-shaped logs stuffed with sausage. By Monday, they were gone, mostly due to me. To dress up my childhood classic, I add presunto and cheese, and sometimes sautéed onions and garlic, to the dough. And I form the rolls into round loaves because I think they look elegant on the table."- From David Leite

My Tía's Buñuelos

2 hrs, 40 min

This family recipe has been a favorite since childhood. My aunt effortlessly prepared them, while my job was to generously sprinkle the fried, flaky, thin, and crispy disks with cinnamon sugar. There are various styles of buñuelos, but this version is the most commonly found in Chihuahua, where my family resides. If I were to share a tip, it would be not to skip the step of letting the bunuelos dry out for two hours. I've often wondered why some buñuelos felt heavy and oily, and my aunt revealed that this was the secret to her ultra-bubbly and flaky buñuelos. Feel free to have fun with the cinnamon sugar mix. I’m a purist and kept it simple with our Cinnamon Toast Spice which features three different types of cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg.

Warm Pumpkin Butter

15 min

After finding a lovely pumpkin for Halloween decor, wonder no more about what to do with it. This homemade recipe ensures your pumpkin won't go to waste. It yields a lot, but the pumpkin butter can be stored in the fridge for weeks and freezes well. It's perfect for enhancing future pancakes, waffles, and holiday drinks. I used Kashmiri Garam Masala for a sweet, spiced flavor. The spices simmer with piloncillo, similar to brown sugar, intensifying the pumpkin's natural sweetness. This straightforward recipe adds an autumnal twist to everyday treats.

Sheet Pan Candied Pecans

5 min

A handful of pantry staples and Gingerbread Spice transform ordinary pecans into irresistible, sweet, and crunchy treats. Baking them on a sheet pan allows for an even candying process, and a midway stir ensures that the pecans emerge glistening with their lacquered shell. Whether you're savoring them as a snack or using them to finish off your salads or desserts, these candied pecans are an easy way to make these dishes extra special. Share them as a homemade gift or keep a stash on hand for whenever you crave a sweet, satisfying bite.

At Fulcrum Coffee, on your way to the iconic Space Needle, Kelsey has whipped up a treat: the Honey Graham Latte. It's a luscious espresso shot, crowned with frothy oat milk and graham cracker crumbs, reminiscent of childhood teddy grahams.

Poudre Douce Pumpkin Latte

Right in the heart of downtown Seattle, we were savoring Fulcrum Coffee's Spiced Latte. We kick it off with a bold shot of espresso, mix in a pumpkin puree-infused syrup, add some sugar, and sprinkle in our Poudre Douce spice. The result? Well, it's not your average spiced latte. It's not cloyingly sweet, but it's incredibly smooth. This blend goes beyond your usual cinnamon kick. The fusion of ginger and allspice takes it to the next level, delivering an indulgent taste that's hard to resist.
