Seminole Hamburger
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked and mashed pumpkin
- 2-1/2 to 3 cups self-rising flour
- just enough water to make a soft dough
- fat or oil for frying
Instructions
Mix the ground beef, onions, salt and pepper together and set aside. Mix pumpkin, flour and just enough water to make a soft dough. Knead the dough for a few minutes. Separate into 3-inch balls. Combine kneading, turning and pulling until the dough is elastic and about 1/4 inch thick and flat. Fill each piece of dough with a hamburger patty and seal well on all sides. Fry in deep fat or oil until golden brown on all sides. Serve immediately. [NOTE: The pumpkin bread may be fried, without the filling, in 1/4 inch thick pieces about 6 inches round. Fry in hot fat on both sides until golden and crisp.]
