Recipe Introduction


These are nice for Fall and Holiday teas. Delicious, just as you thought they would be.


List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup cooked, mashed pumpkin (canned is fine)
2 cups self rising flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice
confectioner's sugar, for dusting tops (optional)

Recipe



Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, beat butter until softened. Add sugar and salt gradually, beating until mixture is well combined. Add beaten egg and work in well, then add pumpkin. In a medium bowl sift together flour, cinnamon and nutmeg, and allspice, then slowly add dry mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix quickly to form a soft dough, adding more flour if necessary. Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead gently for a few minutes. Pat the dough to 1 inch thick. Cut into rounds or squares. Place on lightly greased pan, brush tops with a little milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until well risen and golden. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Lightly dust tops with confectioner's sugar, if desired.

Note: If you do not have self rising flour, just use 2 cups all purpose flour plus 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt, which is equivalent.
