Serves 4 to 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

500 g pumpkin or butternut, peeled and cut into chunks
150 g cake flour
½ t salt
1 t ground cinnamon
2 star anise
2 t baking powder
2 large free-range eggs
vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Icing sugar, for dusting
Cinnamon sugar, for dusting

Method

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, then add the pumpkin or butternut chunks and cook until very tender.

Drain and allow to cool. Add, along with the flour, salt, ground cinnamon, star anise, baking powder and eggs, to a blender and blend.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a high heat. When hot, carefully drop in spoonfuls of the fritter mixture, taking care not to overload the pan.

Fry until cooked through and golden, then drain on kitchen paper. Dust with icing sugar and cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.
