Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 15-oz. can pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 Tbsp. melted butter
  • vegetable oil for frying

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the first seven ingredients. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin, milk and melted butter until well combined. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. No need to over mix here.
    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wire rack over the parchment.
  • Heat several inches of vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees. You will need to add enough oil so that while the fritters are cooking they are completely submerged in the oil. Using a standard size (1 1/2 inch) ice cream scoop, drop batter into hot oil. Do not crowd the pot. (I cook about 4-5 at a time) Fry until fritters are a golden brown and cooked though, about 5-6 minutes. Remove to prepared sheet.
    In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar coating.
    Roll each fritter in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated. Serve fritters while warm.
