Pumpkin Fritters

 Appetizers are my friend.  I would much rather graze on appetizers than actually have a sit-down meal prepared for me.  I suppose that could be why I struggle with my weight.  Because I prefer to have bite size items, it becomes a little more difficult to measure what I eat.

It's the fall season and we are always looking for new and great ideas to enjoy and share with our family that would be appropriate for the season.  Here is a favorite pumpkin fritter appetizer recipe that I have found and enjoy immensely.

This recipe will take you approximately 15 minutes to prepare and will yield 24 servings.  Each service brings with is 350 calories.                                                      
 

 1 cup of pumpkin puree

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder                    

1 teaspoon curry powder 

1 teaspoon salt 

4 cups vegetable oil for frying                                             

 

In a mixing bowl you will want to combine the pumpkin, egg, flour, baking powder, curry powder, and salt.  Blend until smooth.

 

Heat oil in a deep saucepan to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).  (You can also use a deep fryer if available);  Drop batter by spoonful into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and serve immediately.    They are best enjoyed as a fresh warm fritter and eaten on the day they are made.
