I can’t believe it is Thanksgiving this week and the weather in Seattle has been freezing already. I still have a bunch of pumpkin recipes i wanted to try this week, one of them were these amazing pumpkin fritters. To me anything doughnut like has to be fresh or i will not eat it, these you will not stop eating when they come out. Plus they are not as good the day after. These pumpkin fritters are perfect for a simple dessert served with only confectionery sugar, but you can also go all out and server with some jam and whipped cream. Either way you can’t go wrong.
These are a keeper for me. They are simple to put together and the frying is the most time consuming part, which was not bad at all.
For thanksgiving i am going to some family in town and will be making my yearly ribs and a side salad. What are your plans for thanksgiving? Still looking for ideas? Here are some thanksgiving recipes to check out.

November 21, 2011 at 8:50 pmSince I like deep fried food, I actually don’t mind deep frying at home and I can endure some smelly kitchen for like half day. This is something that my family would really enjoy. I try to deep fry only once every two weeks so I hope to try this soon!

November 22, 2011 at 12:50 pmWow they look gorgeously tasty but i’m pretty sure I would just HAVE to have maple syrup on the top!

Michael says
November 22, 2011 at 7:09 pmI love deep fried food but have to be careful of my oil and fat consumption. 🙂 This is like what my grandma used to make but with bananas. She’d used to mash up the bananas and make a wet dough then deep fry them.
Delishhh replied: — November 23rd, 2011 @ 8:27 am
Michael, using bananas sounds fabulous – i have to try that. Thanks for the tip!

November 22, 2011 at 8:43 pmSuch an easy and delightful dessert to make..pumpkin in the batter will surely make these fritters moist and supple.
