Caribbean Fried Pumpkin Fritters
Thanks to the arrival of Fall, I thought I should use pumpkin and make some fritters. These Caribbean Fried Pumpkin Fritters are perfect for the season.
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour sifted
- 1 cup Pumpkin purée
- 1/2 cup Vegetable oil or more for frying
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1/3 cup Whole milk at room temperature
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- 1 medium Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Almond essence
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp Ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp Allspice
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, sugar, egg, spices, vanilla extract and almond essence.
- When everything is mixed together, gradually whisk in the flour and milk. Whisk until everything is combined then stir in the raisins.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat; Once the oil is warm, pour a 1/4 cup of the batter into the oil.
- When the sides are getting crisp and golden flip them. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden. If you poke the center and it isn't cooked, lower the heat.
- Once they are done cooking, remove from the pan and set on a plate covered with napkin to absorb the excess oil.
- Serve and enjoy!
