One of my very favorite things about fall is the abundance of pumpkins. (and pumpkin recipes out there)
Seriously. Pumpkins are one of the yummiest things ever. (except for in pie, then I prefer squash...)
On of my dh cousins told me I could have the "garbage" pumpkins that the farm couldn't use. So we went out and got 6 large ones (there were literally hundreds left). There had been a rather large freeze so I had to be really careful about picking good ones. I had to chuck one because it rotted, but the rest have been keeping me busy. Bagging, canning, grating, and now I must roast the seeds.
Today I really wanted to use some grated pumpkin so I took a few recipes and put them altogether for these yummy little treats.
Pumpkin Fritters
21/2 C Flour
1/2 C Powdered Milk
1/2 C Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
Mix all together in a medium bowl. Add:
2 Eggs
11/2 C Water
3 C Peeled, Shredded Raw Pumpkin
Mix well and fry in hot oil until brown on both sides.
We loved these with maple syrup! You could also toss in sugar or dust with powdered sugar.
Enjoy
