Butternut Fritters with Sweet Ginger Glaze

This is absolutely my favourite pumpkin fritters recipe! Thank you to "All for Women Daily" for this lovely recipe! This is the only pumpkin fritters recipe I make.

Ingredients

250 ml water

1 TBS finely grated fresh ginger

1/3 cup white sugar + 1/3 cup brown sugar

20 ml corn flour (Maizena)

1 large butternut, cooked and thoroughly drained

2 eggs, beaten

2/3 cup self-raising flour

3 ml salt

5 ml baking powder

Canola oil for deep frying

Directions

·    Make the glaze by adding the water, ginger and sugar to a small saucepan. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and then bring to a boil.

·         Mix the corn flour into a paste with a little cold water and add to the water. Stir until thickened and set aside to cool.

·    In a large mixing bowl, mash together the butternut and eggs. Sift the dry ingredients over the butternut mash and mix well. Then whisk or stir until well combined and smooth.

·         Heat 2-3 cm of oil in a pan and fry heaped tablespoons of butternut mixture until cooked through and nicely browned. Turn once or twice.

·         Drain on paper towels and transfer to a serving dish. Keep warm until you have fried all of the mixture.

·         Once all the mixture is fried, pour over the cooled ginger glaze and serve.
