Steps

1 hour

1

Place the peeled and diced pumpkin in a pot with water and boil for about 10 minutes.
2

Once cooked and well drained, transfer the pumpkin to a bowl and mash it with a fork.
3

Add the remaining ingredients—sugar, baking powder, flour, and egg—and mix well.
4

Once everything is well combined, let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes.
5

Pour sunflower oil into a skillet and add a piece of lemon peel. When the peel starts to bubble, remove it from the skillet.
6

Using two tablespoons, drop portions of the batter into the skillet. Lower the heat to medium and fry until golden brown and cooked through.
7

Once golden, remove the fritters and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
8

In a bowl, mix ground cinnamon and sugar. Roll the fritters in the mixture to coat them.

They're ready to serve—enjoy them warm or cold. Hope you like them!
