Sweet Pumpkin Fritters

Classic recipe and also with the Thermomix.
Delicious, one leads to another and they will never be enough.
Great for all occasions, everyone loves them, and make plenty, otherwise someone will be left without. This is an old recipe from my grandmother, who used to make them for Carnival.
