Serves 6-10 Great for buffets

Ingredients*:

• 3 Cups cooked mashed pumpkin (fresh or canned)
• 1/2 Tsp of salt
• 2 Lightly beaten eggs
• 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
• ¼ Tsp cinnamon
• ½ Cup of sugar
• 4 Tbsp Butter or Margarine or ½ cup canola/frying oil
• ½ Cup of white or wheat flour

According to Carla Reyes:

1. Using a fork, mix all ingredients well to the consistency of a thick pancake batter. (I prefer using fresh pumpkin. I save the water I use to boil pumpkin in to use as I mash and blend ingredients)
2. Fry table-spoonfuls in butter or oil in medium heat until golden on both sides
3. Lay on napkin and allow oil

*Darlene the Gourmet Diva says: “you can sprinkle powdered sugar before serving for a zepoli effect yum”
