Pumpkin Doughnut Holes

From my Yahoo group. And if you don't use self rising flour, which I always though was really silly, use 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp of baking soda, and 1/4 tsp table salt. Or to be completely exacting, measure these into a 1 cup measure and fill cup to top with all purpose flour.
