Pumpkin Fritters Pampoen Koekies


This is a south african recipe (from magdaleen van wyk's the complete south african cookbook), something my mom used to make. Pumpkins abound at the moment, so i thought i'd share it with everyone. They are really delicious. Let me know what you think!!

Steps


Combine the pumpkin , flour , baking powder and salt to form a soft batter.
Add the egg and beat well.
Heat the butter , margarine or oil in a frying pan until it sizzles.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter in the fat and fry the fritters on both sides until golden brown.
Remove and keep warm.
Serve hot , sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon and garnished with slices of lemon.
