👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar (if using), baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then whisk in the pumpkin puree until well combined and smooth.
⏱️ 5 minutes
2
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay. The batter should be thick but scoopable.
⏱️ 2 minutes
3
Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to a depth of about 2-3 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a tiny bit of batter in; it should sizzle immediately and float to the surface.
⏱️ 10 minutes
4
Fry the fritters: Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until deep golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to turn them and to remove them from the oil.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes
5
Drain and dust: Transfer the cooked pampoenkoekies to a wire rack set over a baking sheet or to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, generously dust them with the prepared cinnamon sugar.
⏱️ 3 minutes
6
Serve: Pampoenkoekies are best served warm, either on their own or with a dusting of extra cinnamon sugar.

💡 Proffstips

✓For a lighter fritter, ensure your baking powder is fresh.
✓Don't overcrowd the pot when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy fritters.
✓Adjust the amount of cinnamon in the batter and dusting to your preference.
✓These are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two and reheated gently.
