Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. The oil should be about 1 inch deep and reach a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil returns to the correct temperature between batches.
Dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
