Directions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.

  3. Scoop pumpkin flesh into food processor and process until smooth puree is left.

If you are using a home made pumpkin puree keep in mind that will likely be considerably more liquidy than store bought, so you will need considerably more flour as well. I used 1 1/2-2 cups, or more.
