Ingredients

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (use 100% pure pumpkin)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
½ cup light or golden brown sugar (not packed)
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt

Cinnamon sugar

½ cup sugar
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Additional ingredients

20 Twin Dragon Wonton Wrappers
vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Make Pumpkin filling

Mix all pumpkin filling ingredients in a medium bowl, until smooth and set aside.

Make cinnamon sugar

Stir sugar and ground cinnamon together in a large bowl and set aside.

Make Pumpkin churro wontons

Have a small bowl with water handy.
Place a wonton wrapper on the work surface and place a scant tablespoon of pumpkin filling in the middle. Using a pastry brush or just your finger, wet all four sides of the wonton wrapper with water (not dripping wet) and then close to form a triangle.
Press edges well to seal. Repeat process to form remaining triangles.

Fry Pumpkin churro wontons

Pour vegetable oil into a large pan, until it reaches about 1 and ½ inches in height. Place over medium high heat and let it get moderatly hot (about 325 degrees F).
Deep fry about 4-6 triangles at a time,until golden brown on both sides, turning occasionally (about 3 minutes per batch). Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Proceed with the next batch and in the mean time, dredge both sides of the fried batch of wonton triangles in cinnamon sugar and place on a serving platter.
Enjoy hot/ warm.

Notes

Dredging hot fried pumpkin churro wontons in cinnamon sugar will help in the sugar to adhere well. So, I recommend dredging one batch, when the next batch is being fried.
