Instructions
Fill a saucepot with vegetable oil to a depth of 2 inches. Place over medium-high heat while you prepare the batter.
For the batter: combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and stir together with a spoon until well blended.
1 cup canned pumpkin puree, 1 cup self-rising flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 egg, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Check the temperature of the oil by dropping a pinch of flour in it. If it immediately bubbles, the oil is ready. If not, allow the oil to heat for a few more minutes.
Reduce oil to medium heat. Carefully drop batter by spoonful into the oil, pushing it off the spoon with your finger. Repeat until you have several cooking simultaneously. Cook for a few minutes on each side, until dark golden brown.
Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and cook the remainder of the batter.
To prepare the marmalade dipping sauce, spoon a small jar of marmalade into a bowl and add two tablespoons of water. Heat in microwave for 45 seconds. Stir together until well combined.
