Pampoenkoekies

Pampoenkoekie is a South African dessert consisting of fluffy pumpkin fritters. The fritters are made with cooked and puréed pumpkin, flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, milk, and salt. When golden-brown and fully cooked, they are traditionally drizzled over with a thick and sticky caramel syrup. Since they are a little bit savory and a little bit sweet, pampoenkoekies can be served either as breakfast, snack, dessert, or a side dish.
