2 tablespoons butter

Add sugar and salt gradually, beating until mixture is well combined.
Add beaten egg and work in well. Add pumpkin.
Sift together in a medium bowl flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Slowly add dry mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix quickly to form a soft dough, adding more flour if necessary.
