Ingredients

300 g pumpkin puree
100 g all-purpose flour
50 g sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
100 ml milk
40 g sesame seeds for topping
Oil for frying
Honey for drizzling optional
Additional spices (like allspice) optional

Equipment

Deep frying pot
Heatproof mixing bowl
Electric mixer (or whisk)
Slotted spoon
Paper towels for draining

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, and milk. Whisk until smooth.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep frying pot over medium heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F). Test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it's ready.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the fritters with the slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
While still warm, sprinkle sesame seeds generously on top of the fritters.
Plate the fritters and drizzle with honey if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Don’t hesitate to switch out the pumpkin puree for sweet potato or butternut squash for a different flavor twist!
These fritters are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat gently in a pan for the best texture.
Experiment with different toppings, such as chopped nuts or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, to make this treat uniquely yours.
Happy frying!
