These Spiced Pumpkin Fritter Bites are a delightful twist on classic doughnut drops, featuring warm spices and a tender texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a lump-free batter and even distribution of spices.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin, vanilla extract, milk, and sugar until smooth.
Make sure the wet ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add the dry mix to the wet mix, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for consistent frying.
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Let the fritters cool slightly before coating to help the sugar stick better.
Combine the powdered sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then roll the warm fritters in the mixture to coat.
For an extra touch, drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
Serve the fritters warm and enjoy!
These fritters are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven for a quick treat.
