Pumpkin Fritters

Ingredients 250 g pumpkin, peeled, cubed and cooked 1 egg, beaten 140 g (250 ml) cake flour 7 ml baking powder 15 ml Huletts White Sugar salt 5 ml lemon juice 2 ml cinnamon oil for frying 50 g (60 ml) Huletts White or Yellow Sugar 5 ml cinnamon

Method

1. Drain the cooked pumpkin well.
2. Add the beaten egg and mix.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the oil, and mix well. Place a spoonful of the mixture into hot oil.
4. Fry on one side until golden brown and turn to cook on the other side.

Hint: The cooked pumpkin should have very little moisture as too much moisture can make the batter too runny.
