Mix the pumpkin puree and sweet potato puree with the flour.
Let the dough with added yeast rise for 45 minutes.
Wet your hands and shape the dough into rings.
Fry the rings in 170°C oil for 4 minutes.
Serve hot with syrup so the outer crust does not harden.
💡 Tip: Keeping the dough from becoming too stiff helps the inside stay hollow but soft after frying.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with syrup drizzled over the top.
