Steps

40 minutes

1

To begin, cut the white pumpkin into small pieces. Line the baking dish with parchment paper and spread out the pumpkin pieces. Bake them in an oven for 20-25 minutes at 210°C or 410°F until soft. Check with a toothpick. Be sure to turn them over once for even cooking.
2

Allow them to cool and blend into a smooth puree. Keep aside.
3

To prepare the batter, mix together all-purpose flour, baking powder, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl.
4

Whisk two eggs and add them to the dry mixture. Mix well.
5

Next, add the pumpkin puree and lemon zest. Mix well to make a thick and creamy batter.
6

In the meantime, heat the oil in a pan.
7

Prepare the buñuelos by adding spoonfuls of batter in hot oil. Cook on medium heat for a while before flipping them over. Fry until golden. Remove to a plate lined with paper towel. Prepare the other buñuelos similarly.
8

Finally, take ¼ cup granulated sugar in a bowl. Coat the buñuelos well. The Pumpkin Buñuelos are ready to serve. Serve warm or at room temperature.
