Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
2 cups self-rising flour
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup cooked and mashed pumpkin
1 egg

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Rub butter into flour in a bowl using your fingers until evenly combined. Add sugar, baking powder, and salt to flour mixture; make a well in the center. Mix pumpkin and egg together in a separate bowl; pour into the well and mix until dough is well combined. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and cut into squares using a knife with flour on it. Arrange squares on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
