Welcome to the channel; introduce the recipe for pumpkin spice creme brulee donuts.

Gather ingredients: granulated sugar, unsalted butter, milk, all-purpose flour, lots of eggs, kosher salt, cornstarch, vanilla extract, half and half, water, instant yeast, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar.

Bloom the yeast by combining warm milk and granulated sugar in a bowl; let it sit until foamy.

Add the yeast mixture, butter, and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl of a stand mixer with the flour and salt; mix until combined.

Let the dough rise in a greased bowl until doubled in size, about 1 hour; it can rise longer if desired.

Roll out the dough and cut it into donut shapes; cover and let rise for 15-20 minutes.

Ensure the dough passes the windowpane test for gluten development; check for a white ring around the edge of the donuts before frying.

Heat oil to 370°F; fry the donuts until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Allow the donuts to cool completely before poking a hole in the side with a metal straw or skewer to create a cavity for the cream filling.

Prepare the cream filling by dissolving brown sugar in milk and half and half; let it steam before adding the egg yolk mixture while stirring constantly until thickened.

Cover the cream filling with plastic wrap touching the surface to prevent a film and refrigerate while preparing the candy coating.

Make the candy coating by heating sugar and water in a pot; do not stir while it simmers to avoid crystallization.

Dip the cooled donuts into the molten sugar carefully to coat them; be cautious of burns.

Fill the donuts with the cream using a piping bag; serve and enjoy.
