Any of the pumpkin varieties in Australia will work for this recipe. If you're in America look for baking pumpkins often labeled “sugar pumpkins” or “pie pumpkins”. You could also use butternut squash / butternut pumpkin instead. You'll want to end up with roughly one cup of mashed pumpkin for the recipe. I used Danish feta cheese for this recipe and really enjoyed the creaminess but any type will work. If you don't have self-raising flour simply use a mixture of plain / all purpose flour and baking powder. For this recipe use 1 cup of plain / all purpose and 2 teaspoons of baking powder.Add just enough oil to cover the bottom of your frying pan. Make sure it’s hot before popping the fritters in. If you skip this step, the fritters will take on the oil and become soggy. Cook the fritters in batches, about 3-4 at a time so you don’t overcrowd your pan. Add more oil if it dries out completely.
