Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
2 cups self-rising flour
0.5 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooked and mashed pumpkin
1 egg

Method

Set your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) to preheat.
Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour in a bowl until fully incorporated. Stir the sugar, baking powder, and salt into the flour mixture, then create a well in its centre. In another bowl, combine the mashed pumpkin with the egg, then pour this mixture into the well. Mix until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a surface dusted with flour and use a floured knife to cut it into squares. Place the squares onto a baking sheet.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are lightly browned.
