Malawian Pumpkin Fritters
Mpapate are delightful and slightly sweet fritters made from mashed pumpkin, flour, and a touch of sugar, then deep-fried until golden brown. They are a popular snack or treat, often enjoyed with a dusting of cinnamon sugar.
🧂 Składniki
- 500 g Pumpkin(steamed, drained, and mashed until smooth)
- 2 large Eggs(beaten)
- 60 g Cake flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder(heaped)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar(optional, for batter)
- as needed Oil for frying
- for dusting Cinnamon sugar
👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
Ensure the steamed pumpkin is well-drained and mashed until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
- 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed pumpkin and beaten eggs. Mix well.
- 3
Sift in the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. If using, add the tablespoon of sugar. Mix until a soft, cohesive batter forms. Do not overmix.
- 4
Heat about 1-2 inches of oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. The oil is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles immediately.
- 5
Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches.
- 6
Fry for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- 7
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- 8
Serve warm, dusted generously with cinnamon sugar.
