Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a small saucepan, unite the grated pumpkin, soft brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gently warm over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar gracefully dissolves into the pumpkin. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to a comfortable room temperature. (Approximately 10 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Once cooled, gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour into the pumpkin mixture, coaxing it into a soft, pliable dough. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the dough and let the dough rest, allowing the flavors to meld and the gluten to relax. (Approximately 5 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Gently roll each portion into a ball and then flatten them into discs, roughly 2 inches in diameter.

04

Step
7 mins

In a skillet, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil over medium-hot heat. Carefully place the pumpkin buns into the hot oil and pan-fry until they achieve a light golden-brown hue on each side, flipping as needed. (Approximately 6-8 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Once golden and cooked through, transfer the pumpkin buns to a plate lined with paper towels, allowing any excess oil to drain away, leaving you with perfectly crisp and utterly delicious treats.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the pumpkin mixture.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to prevent the buns from burning on the outside while remaining uncooked inside.
Serve warm with a dollop of crème fraîche or a drizzle of honey for an elevated experience.
