Quick Pumpkin Fritters

Hi you all!

Today's recipe is for quick pumpkin fritters. It is very easy and very quick to make, but most of all - it is very delicious!!

Ingredients:

1kg pumpkin cubes
2tbs butter
3tbs brown sugar/white sugar
1t cinnamon
1 tin sweetcorn
salt & pepper to taste
pinch cayenne pepper
1/2t baking powder
2 eggs
6 tbs cake flour

Method

Cook the pumpkin in a little water until very soft. Throw off all excess water once cooked, and then add the butter, sugar and cinnamon and mix very well. The butter must be melted. Once the pumpkin is done, mix well with all the other ingredients.

You can now either bake it in a buttered scone pan or fry it in a little oil like normal fritters. If you bake it, bake it at 180degrees Celsius for about 30 min until firm.

Enjoy!!
