• LET sit overnight in a sealed container.
• COMBINE pumpkin with sugar, flour, baking powder, 2 eggs and 4 yolks until it forms a dough.
• LET sit for 15 minutes then form into small balls, about the size of a tangerine.
• HEAT vegetable oil until almost (but not quite) sizzling.
• Drop in dough balls, rotating periodically, until fried through. Once finished, place on a paper towel covered plate to cool.
