Delicious Pumpkin Fritters

Ingredients

Pumpkin puree

1 cup

Eggs

2 large

Granulated sugar

1/4 cup

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Baking powder

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon

Vegetable oil

for frying

Powdered sugar

for dusting

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
5. Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
6. Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to turn them and remove them from the oil.
7. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy them warm!
