Mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and sugar.
Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and make a thick batter.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Drop small spoonfuls of batter into the pan, leaving space for frying.
Fry the pampoenkoekies for 2 minutes on each side.
Cook the remaining batter the same way.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while hot and serve.
💡 Tip: If the pumpkin puree is very watery, drain it briefly; excess moisture makes the batter spread in the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the hot bites on a dessert plate with cinnamon sugar and optional yogurt.
