Ingredients

500 g Pumpkin peeled and coarsely grated
100 g Flour plain
2 Eggs lightly beaten
3 Spring Onions finely sliced
1 handful Fresh Parsley chopped
1 tsp Sea salt
½ tsp Black pepper freshly ground
Vegetable oil for shallow frying
3 tbsp Honey
¼ tsp Chilli flakes dried

Instructions

Place the grated pumpkin in a large bowl. Add the flour, eggs, spring onions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape — if it’s too loose, add a little more flour.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the base generously. When the oil is hot, drop heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain excess oil. Keep warm in a low oven if cooking in batches.
In a small saucepan, warm the honey with the chilli flakes over low heat for 2 minutes. Drizzle over the fritters just before serving.
