How to Make Pumpkin Fritters
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed pumpkin puree and egg. Whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the orange juice (or milk).
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot (a small amount of batter should sizzle when dropped in), drop spoonfuls of the pumpkin batter into the hot oil, leaving space between each fritter.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Dust with cinnamon sugar, if desired.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
