Pumpkin buns* without yeast, prepared with baking powder. An idea for a quick, savory snack, for breakfast or afternoon tea. After baking, they are crunchy on the outside and slightly soft on the inside. They taste good spread with butter, goat cheese or cranberry jam.

Pumpkin purée can be prepared the day before, freeze some, and leave some in the fridge for 2-3 days to use in buns, baguettes, soups or other pumpkin dishes.

Cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds together with the fibrous pulp. cut into small pieces. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, skin side down, and bake for about 40 minutes at 200°C, until soft. Once cooled, separate the flesh from the skin and blend to a smooth purée. Pumpkin purée can be portioned into bags and frozen.
