#1243 - Pumpkin Fritters

(by Aunt Eileen [Knouse] Carter)

2 cups canned pumpkin (put in a sieve and squeezed as dry as you can get it)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder
2 TBSP white sugar
2 beaten eggs
canola oil for frying
cinnamon sugar for sprinkling

In a bowl add flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder and white sugar--stir. Add beaten eggs and pumpkin--stir well (batter will be thick). Place a frying pan over medium heat--add 1/2 cup canola oil to the pan and heat the oil. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into the oil (so they are not touching). Fry until bottom side is browned, then flip and fry other side until browned. Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar.
