Method
Mix the pumpkin purée, flour, yeast and eggs thoroughly together.
Pour a generous amount of oil into a non-stick skillet and heat until hot.
Using a tablespoon, pour small balls of dough into the hot oil and fry until golden on each side. Do not overcrowd the pan as the pumpkin fritters will rise whilst frying.
Remove fritters from the saucepan and drain on a paper towel. Place them into a glass bowl.
Stir sugar, milk and water together in a saucepan. Allow to boil until the sugar has dissolved.
Make a paste with corn starch and a little water. Stir into sauce until thickened.
Add the butter and stir until melted.
Pour the warm sauce over the fritters and serve hot or cold.
