Pumpkin fried in batter in a frying pan

An original way to serve pumpkin! Incredibly delicious! Pumpkin fried in batter is a memory of childhood. Mom cooks them in butter and serves them with cherry marmalade. MMM tasty! This food, by the way, is also found in Korean cuisine. True, the culinary recipe that I want to share does not involve a loaf, as is our custom. Today we will prepare pumpkin croutons (hobakten) for breakfast. By the way, you need to remember when preparing this dish that the pumpkin from which you will make our morning dessert must be special. It is desirable that it be of the Japanese variety, it contains an increased amount of starch. And when the pumpkin finally ripens, it is simply impossible to cut it with a knife. I heard that they simply chop it with a hatchet or a good cleaver. If my memory serves me right, this is what this variety sounds like in Japanese - “stone peel.”
