Directions
Pumpkin Fritters, South African Recipe, These fritters can be made either as a dessert and served with cinnamon-sugar, or as a side dish with venison or ham, and they go surprisingly well with fish! The sweetness-with-spice is typical of the cooking style of the then Malay slaves It’s a down-home comfort dish and ideal for left-over pumpkin , Use Baby Cos lettuce if you can’t get cilantro , I also made some Kulcha I did not have any Cilantro so I chopped some baby cos lettuce instead It went well I also cooked the leavened bread on a Pie and Supreme Pizza maker It only took a few drops of Extra Virgin oil to cook the bread The dough was very soft as water was added teaspoon at a time

the Fritters Will Puff Up Slightly and Keep Their Shape, but Will Deflate a Bit as You Take Them Out of the Pan. to Test For Doneness, Press Very Lightly on the Fritters. When Done, They Will Tend to Spring Back. If Still Uncertain, Press Harder: No Batter Should Run Out the Sides. |

Note 1: the Pumpkin Must Be Dry. We Do not Have Canned Pumpkin in South Africa, and Would Use Home-Cooked Pumpkin. Whatever: Drain Very Well, or Cook the Pumpkin in a Pot Without a Lid Until All Water Has Evaporated. |
