What can I say about these divine Pumpkin Fritters that just looking at the picture doesn’t tell you? They are a light and fluffy pumpkin pillow that is covered in a creamy buttery caramel that makes you want to lick the plate clean! They are seriously addictive!…Therefore a MUST make as soon as possible treat. 🙂
Pumpkin Fritters with a Creamy Caramel Glaze
~Fritter
1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
1 Cup All Purpose Flour
1/3 Cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
2 Eggs, beaten
1/4 Cup Buttermilk
~Creamy Caramel Glaze
1/2 Cup Butter
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
In a mixing bowl combine the pumpkin, sugar, eggs, buttermilk together. Slowly add in flour, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice mixing until smooth. I like to then start heating my oil on medium heat . *Watch the heat of the oil as you cook your fritters, it will become hotter. So you may need to lower the heat setting. Carefully drop fritter batter into the heated oil, a spoonful at a time. The fritter will float to the top as it cooks, you will want to cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden and center of fritter is cooked all the way through. Place each fritter onto a paper towel to drain off any excess oil, then allow fritter to cool on a wire rack. When all the fritters have been cooked and are then cooling, its time to start making the caramel glaze. You will want to make this is a large sauce pan, because when you stir in the baking soda the mixture will become aerated and will rise. Combine the butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla together. Stirring until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil for 3 minutes, remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. Let this cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. You can either pour the glaze over a plateful of fritters or serve the caramel glaze on the side for your guests to dip the fritters into. No matter how you serve these, I am sure they will be a hit! Happy Fall Y’all! ~Lark
