Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instruction

  • Fill a saucepot with vegetable oil to a depth of 2 inches. Place over medium-high heat while you prepare the batter.
  • For the batter: combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and stir together with a spoon until well blended.
  • Check the temperature of the oil by dropping a pinch of flour in it. If it immediately bubbles, the oil is ready. If not, allow the oil to heat for a few more minutes.
  • Reduce oil to medium heat. Carefully drop batter by spoonful into the oil, pushing it off the spoon with your finger. Repeat until you have several cooking simultaneously. Cook for a few minutes on each side, until dark golden brown.
  • Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and cook the remainder of the batter.
  • To prepare the marmalade dipping sauce, spoon a small jar of marmalade into a bowl and add two tablespoons of water. Heat in microwave for 45 seconds. Stir together until well combined.
