Ingredients

Pumpkin fritters
250 ml (1 cup) cake flour
10 ml (2 tsp) baking powder
pinch of salt
30 ml (2 tbsp) sugar
2 eggs
30 ml (2 tbsp) Clover Fresh Full Cream Milk
250 ml (1 cup) cold cooked pumpkin, mashed
750 ml Olive Pride Blend of Seed Oils and Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Caramel sauce

25 ml (5 tsp) custard powder

Method

Fritters

  1. Sift the cake flour, baking powder and salt together. Stir in the sugar.
  2. Beat the eggs and milk together until mixed. Stir into the pumpkin mousse until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Stir the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture.
  4. Heat the oil and fry spoonfuls of batter until golden brown.
  5. Place the pumpkin fritters on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

Sauce

  1. Fry the sugar and butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until golden brown.
  2. Add the water gradually, stirring continuously until the caramel has melted. Add the milk little by little.
  3. Mix the custard powder with a little water to form a paste, and then stir it into the sauce.
  4. Heat until the sauce thickens – approximately 3 minutes. Remove from the heat as soon as bubbles start to form.
  5. Serve the sauce with the pumpkin fritters.
