Ingredients
- 400 g Pumpkin puree
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 500 ml Neutral oil (for frying)
- 250 ml Milk
- 20 g Unsalted butter
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch (for sauce)
- 2 tbsp Water (for cornstarch slurry)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until a thick batter forms.
Step 2
Using a spoon or your hands, shape the batter into small nugget-sized portions.
Step 3
Roll each nugget into the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Step 4
Heat neutral oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).
Step 5
Carefully fry the nuggets in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 6
Remove the fried nuggets using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
In a small saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not boil.
Step 8
Add butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the milk, stirring until sugar and butter are fully dissolved.
Step 9
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then gradually add it to the sauce while stirring constantly to thicken.
Step 10
Cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 11
Serve the pumpkin nuggets warm and drizzle them generously with the vanilla sauce.
