Pumpkin Pastries

Ingredients 0/6

Step 1

Combin the pumpkin, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool down to room temperature.

Step 2

Once cooled, stir the flour into the pumpkin mixture until it comes together into a dough. Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the dough and let it rest for about five minutes to make it easier to handle.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, then roll each one into a ball and flatten them to about 2 inches wide. Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, fry the dough pieces a few at a time, cooking them until they’re lightly browned on both sides.

Step 4

Once cooked, transfer the pastries to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
