Author: Heather Greutman

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 mixing spoon
  • 1 Tablespoon
  • 1 Teaspoon

Materials

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour you will need more for kneading the dough
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon spice blend/pumpkin pie spice
  • 1.5 cups boiling water
  • 8-10 drops red food coloring
  • 5-7 drops yellow food coloring

Instructions

  • Mix your dry ingredients: flour, salt, and cream of tartar together.  
  • Add the oil, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin puree and mix together.
  • Finally, add boiling water (you can add in batches) and stir with a spoon until everything is combined.
  • After the mixture has cooled, take it out of the bowl and knead it on the counter until it is not sticky anymore.

Notes

I originally added only 2 cups of flour, but when I kneaded it I ended up adding at least 2 more cups while kneading it. I added one cup to the recipe, but you may need to add even more once you get to the kneading stage.
