Ingredients

Scale

PUMPKIN FRITTERS

  • 6.70 oz (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3.53 oz (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp (8 g) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (2 g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp (1 g) pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5 g) sea salt
  • 3 oz (85 g) cold butter, diced
  • 1 large egg
  • 2.12 oz (60 g) cold milk
  • 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla bean paste
  • 6.42 oz (182 g) pumpkin purée

MAPLE GLAZE

  • 4.24 oz (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp (30 g) milk
  • 1 tsp (7 g) maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Place a Large Bonmat on top of a Large Perforated Baking Sheet and set aside. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt until well combined.
  3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until you see shaggy flecks dispersed throughout.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk the egg together with cold milk and vanilla bean paste. Add this liquid mixture to the flour and butter mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  5. Fold in Pumpkin: Carefully fold in the pumpkin purée until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to maintain distinct layers of color in the fritters.
  6. Scoop Batter: Using a tablespoon, scoop heaping portions of batter onto the prepared Bonmat on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake Fritters: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, monitoring from 10 minutes onward. The fritters are done when the tops are set and the bases turn golden brown.
  8. Cool: Remove the fritters from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  9. Prepare Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste until smooth and glossy.
  10. Glaze Fritters: Dip the top of each cooled fritter into the maple glaze and allow a few minutes for the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure layers and texture in the fritters.
  • Monitor baking closely after 10 minutes as oven temperatures vary.
  • Store baked pumpkin fritters at room temperature in a single layer to avoid sogginess; avoid plastic containers.
  • You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a homemade blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Using cold butter and milk helps achieve a light, flaky texture.
