 Makes 12

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp. finely shredded fresh ginger root
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup margarine
2 TB. coconut oil (can substitute other oils)
2 cups pureed pumpkin (fresh or canned, either is fine)


Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and dry ginger and cinnamon).

Cut in margarine and coconut oil, adding a bit at a time until mixed. Add pumpkin and fresh ginger and combine well.
On a lightly floured surface, knead dough a few times, pushing it into a large circle, a few inches thick.

Cut into 12 or so triangular pieces. Imagine you are cutting a pizza so that you get even, triangular slices.

Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until done.
