Bajan Pumpkin Fritters

Pumpkin is frequently used in many Bajan dishes such as soups, sauces, cookies and of course the famous fritters. If unavailable where you are, butternut squash or another orange flesh squash can be used as a substitute. Ingredient notes: - Canned pumpkin can also be used here and will omit the need for a blender- simply mix ingredients by hand - To cook the pumpkin/squash yourself, it can be peeled and steamed - Alternatively, to avoid peeling the pumpkin when raw, you can cut into chunks and cook in a hot oven until soft, covered with foil. When cool, the flesh can be scooped out and the skin discarded - A pinch of nutmeg can also be added to the fritter recipe if you wish These fritters last ok for a couple days in the fridge. They can be toasted, microwaved or warmed in the oven! Recipe tested and photographed by Miriam
