Directions

• STEP ONE
  Start by taking a ripe pumpkin and removing all the seeds and fibers from the inside. Following this, cut the meat away from the peel and chop it into 2-inch chunk.

• STEP TWO
  After this cover the pieces with water and a dash of salt in a saucepan.

• STEP THREE
  Now bring the saucepan to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer, uncovered until the pumpkin is tender. This process should take roughly 20-30 minutes.

• STEP FOUR
  After you have completed this, drain all of the water from the saucepan. Now use the potato masher to mash the pumpkin.

• STEP FIVE
  Following this, use a mixer to cream the butter with the La Fe Brown Sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice.

• STEP SIX
  Following this, pour in the 2 cups of mashed pumpkin into the creamed mixture by hand.

• STEP SEVEN
  Now, begin to sift the flour with the baking powder and salt. Following this beat the flour mixture into the pumpkin-egg mixture by hand.

• STEP EIGHT
  After you have completed the beating process, in a large pan or deep fryer, heat the oil to cover the frituras. The heat should be approximately 325 to 350˚F.

• STEP NINE
  Finally, drop in the fritura mixture tablespoon by tablespoon into the hot oil. Fry each tablespoon for roughly 2- 3 minutes, making sure to flip them regularly until they have become golden brown on both sides and are cooked all the way through.

  Serve immediately.
