- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Add about 2 inches of vegetable oil to a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Place paper towels on a plate to drain fritters.
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a larger bowl, add pumpkin puree, milk, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
- Add flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture, half at a time. Stir until combined. Batter should be thick.
- Use a tablespoon to add fritter mixture to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd; add 3-4 fritters at a time.
- Cook fritters for 2-3 minutes, then turn over. Cook for 3 more minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
- While fritters are frying, add all glaze ingredients, except milk, to a medium bowl.
- Mix the glaze until combined.
- If the glaze is too thick, slowly whisk in milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of bourbon in the glaze to your preference.
- Serve fritters warm with the glaze drizzled on top.
