Pumpkin Biscuits
"You can use commercially canned or homegrown pumpkin for this recipe. If doing the latter, bake the pumpkin rather than boil it in order to get a drier, denser product. After scraping the baked flesh from the rinds, use an electric mixer to beat until smooth. Remove any tough, fibrous pieces that didn’t cook down." - Hobbyfarmers.com

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a half-inch thick.
