Preparation steps

1.
Steam or boil the pumpkin until tender then drain well. Mash the pumpkin flesh, squeezing out as much water as possible, then place it in a bowl. Mix in the sugar and butter then add the flour and work to a smooth dough. You may need to add more flour if the mixture is too wet.
2.
Roll the dough into a cylinder shape and cut into about 16 pieces. Roll into balls, flatten them slightly then coat them in the sesame seeds.
3.
Heat about 1" / 2.5cm the vegetable oil in a wide pan until it is gently bubbling but not smoking and fry the pumpkin cakes in batches for 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Pat dry with kitchen paper and serve.
