Waiting for a cook
South Africa
Pampoenkoekies are South Africa's pumpkin fritters: spoonfuls of a light batter of mashed pumpkin, egg, flour and baking powder fried golden and rolled in cinnamon sugar, or drowned in a caramel sauce. They are eaten as a pudding, a tea-time treat or, in older Afrikaner and Cape Malay homes, as a sweet side to a Sunday roast. Every grandmother has a version.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 10 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
