Ingredients
- ¾ tsp yeast dry
- 2 tbsp water
- ⅔ cup pumpkin canned or cooked
- 1 egg
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup orange juice fresh squeezed
- 1 rind orange washed and preferably organic
- 2 tbsp sugar plus more for coating
- 2 ¼ cup flour all purpose
- ¼ tsp salt
- cooking oil olive oil is best, for frying
Instructions
- Sprinkle the yeast over the 2 Tbsp of lukewarm water in a small dish or ramekin. Set aside.
- Mix the pumpkin and egg together in a large bowl, then add the buttermilk, orange juice, rind, sugar, flour and salt. When the yeast has begun to react, pour into the mixture in the large bowl and stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about two hours.
- Put the oil in a small pot, deep fryer or wok and heat until a small piece of the dough/batter fries quickly, but doesn't brown too fast. Adjust the heat accordingly.
- Fry teaspoonfuls of the dough until lightly brown and allow to cool on a paper towel lined plate.
- When warm, dip into a bowlful of sugar and serve immediately.
Notes
- Omit the orange if you don't have any.
