Main Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 1/2 inch depth)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, flour, eggs, and sugar. Mix thoroughly until you form a smooth batter without lumps.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking, approximately 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the fritters: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, spacing them apart. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil: Use a slotted spoon to transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the pumpkin fritters warm as a snack or dessert. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey for added sweetness.
Notes
- Use fresh pumpkin purée for best flavor or canned pumpkin purée without added spices.
- Ensure oil is hot enough to prevent fritters from absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy.
- Adjust sugar quantity to taste, especially if serving with a sweet topping.
- Fritters can be kept warm in a low oven while frying remaining batches.
- These fritters are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven for crispiness.
