It's that time of the year - pumpkins, sweet potatoes, squash, apples, stews, homemade bread, warm drinks... This particular recipe has become a seasonal favorite and can be swung with pumpkin or sweet potatoes (the one below is pumpkin).
It will also make enough batter to last for days, or serve 6-7 hungry people.
