Pumpkin Fritters

    Being South African, and living abroad for 4 yrs, I certainly miss some of our "traditional foods". And since I have half a pumpkin in my fridge, I was wondering whether I could find the recipe for "pampoenkoekies". In general it is a wonderful side dish, and of course being SA bred, it is a family favourite, just like pancakes when it rains. Thanks a million.

    Pumpkin Fritters, These are addictive They can be an appetizer, a side dish or the main meal itself (accompanied by a salad), Being South African, and living abroad for 4 yrs, I certainly miss some of our traditional foods And since I have half a pumpkin in my fridge, I was wondering whether I could find the recipe for pampoenkoekies In general it is a wonderful side dish, and of course being SA bred, it is a family favourite, just like pancakes when it rains Thanks a million , Was ready to try this recipe using canned pumpkin (with a modification or two), then a friend pointed out a market that carried pumpkins this time of year! I made these as finger food & they were a big hit with all my guests! My vegetarian son & DIL also enjoyed these ~ Definitely a keeper of a recipe!
