How To Make: Butternut Fritters. Image credit: Hangry.Recipes
No one can resist these rich, sticky and sweet butternut fritters with caramel sauce! Whip these melt-in-your-mouth bites together in only 40 minutes and watch this family favourite disappear in a flash…This is also the perfect way to sneak vegetables onto the plates of even the most veggie-averse eaters.
The fritters are traditionally prepared with pumpkin, but for this recipe, butternut has been used as it provides a firmer consistency.
The batter is incredibly simple to make. Flour and baking powder are mixed with butternut puree and egg to form a smooth, thick batter. Spoonfuls of the batter are fried until golden and crisp before being drenched in the delicious caramel sauce.
As a variation of the sweet caramel sauce, you could also add a pinch of salt flakes for a salted caramel sauce which will complement the taste of the butternut fritters.
You could also roll the butternut fritters in cinnamon sugar with a squeeze of some lemon juice. You decide.
Although this comforting recipe is usually associated with cold winter weather, these fritters are the perfect side dish to add to any meal — or even serve up as dessert after a satisfying Sunday lunch!
