Method
Cooking the pumpkin (if not already cooked)
- Peel the pumpkin and cut it into small pieces.
- Boil it in a pot with plenty of water and one teaspoon of salt for 15-20 minutes, or until soft.
- Drain it and place it on paper towels to remove excess water.
Preparing the mixture
- With a fork, mash the pumpkin until you obtain a smooth puree.
- Incorporate the sugar, egg, cinnamon, butter, and flour. Mix well until a homogeneous dough is formed.
- Adjust the amount of flour according to consistency: if the dough is too liquid, add more flour until it is manageable; otherwise, the fritters will fall apart when frying.
CiberCuba - Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
Frying the fritters
- Heat the oil in a wide skillet.
- Using two spoons, drop portions of dough into the hot oil, forming fritters of your preferred size.
- Fry on both sides until golden. If the dough falls apart when frying, add more flour.
