This is a South African recipe (from Magdaleen van Wyk's The Complete South African Cookbook), something my mom used to make. Pumpkins abound at the moment, so I thought I'd share it with everyone. They are really delicious. Let me know what you think!

These pumpkin fritters were okay. They were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the pumpkin flavor was a bit too subtle. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These pumpkin fritters were a bit of a disappointment. The batter was too thick and the fritters were dense and greasy. I think I might have overmixed the batter, so I'll try again with a lighter hand next time.
