3 cups unbleached flour
1 cup pureed pumpkin
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup warm milk
1 tablespoon oil
Combine first 7 ingredients plus 1/2 tablespoon oil in large bowl. Mix
thoroughly and knead till smooth, balancing the flour and moisture
components as needed. Lightly rub the smooth surface of the dough with
remaining oil. Cover with damp towel, allow to rest for 1/2 hour or up
to two hours. Heat oil in heavy skillet to 375 degrees. Oil should be 3
inches deep. With lightly foured hands pinch off small golf-ball-sized
pieces and gently flatten in palm of your hand. The less you handle the
dough the lighter the finished bread will be. Fry for 2 to 4 minutes,
drain on absorbent paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
