Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Pumpkin puree
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 500 ml Neutral oil (for frying)
- 250 ml Milk
- 20 g Unsalted butter
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch (for sauce)
- 2 tbsp Water (for cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until a thick batter forms.
Using a spoon or your hands, shape the batter into small nugget-sized portions.
Roll each nugget into the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Heat neutral oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).
Carefully fry the nuggets in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Remove the fried nuggets using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not boil.
Add butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the milk, stirring until sugar and butter are fully dissolved.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then gradually add it to the sauce while stirring constantly to thicken.
Cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Serve the pumpkin nuggets warm and drizzle them generously with the vanilla sauce.
