This is a tiny mini donut called a fritter made with pumpkin puree. These pumpkin fritters are the perfect kickoff for fall and a delicious little fried cake bite rolled in powdered or cinnamon sugar.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon each ginger and nutmeg
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter softened
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
• oil for frying around 3 cups of vegetable oil or canola
• Garnish: cinnamon and sugar mixture or powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large deep saucepan to be around 2 inches deep on medium-low heat ( it's number 3 on my dial).
2. In a large bowl first beat the eggs with sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, and butter.
3. Add all the rest of the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) then slowly add the buttermilk then fold in the puree.
4. Drop into hot oil with either a tablespoon or a melon ball scoop.
5. Cook on both sides until golden brown around 4 minutes total flipping once ( I take one out and test the middle with a toothpick to ensure the batter is cooked).
6. Drain on paper towels.
7. Roll in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar while warm and again when cooled.
