1

In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients.

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough with your hands until stretchy, soft and well-mixed. The dough should not be sticky. Let rest for 15-20 minutes.
3

Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/3” thickness. Cut dough into 12 squares.

In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil to 350ºF. In batches, fry squares of dough until they puff up and turn golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with honey.

Expert Tips

To save time, use canned butternut squash purée.
Switch this recipe up by substituting the butternut squash with pumpkin purée. Just be sure to use plain pumpkin purée as opposed to canned pumpkin pie filling.
