Project 184....pumpkin fritters

Pumpkin fritters are a traditional dish we all grew up with......or can I say Afrikaans kids grew up with, because I don't know why, but sweet vegetable dishes were always part of a cooked meal.....one savoury....one sweet.....

This is also a great way of using leftover cooked pumpkin the next day...or cook double the amount you need, and keep the rest in the fridge to make this the next day.....

Add an egg to your pumpkin, a little sugar and cinnamon, about a tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon of vanilla essens.  Now add some flour to form a soft mixture.  Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder for every half a cup of flour used....this will depend on the amount of pumpkin you are using....

Heat a little oil in your pan and bake spoonsfull until done.  Drain on a kitchen paper to get rid of excess oil and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar whilst still hot.  Serve hot or cold.
