Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch of salt

- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, and egg. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
