Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cubed pumpkin
  • Water
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup milk warm, not cold or hot
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • Oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Method
 

  1. Boil the pumpkin in water until tender.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, sugar, spices, and extract. Whisk well.
  3. Once combined, gradually add the flour and milk.
  4. Heat the oil in a medium-large skillet over medium-low heat. When the oil is warmed place batter into the oil. You can use a 1/4 cup of batter or use a large eating spoon and drop batter.
