Method

  • 1. Preheat an oven to 200ºC (180ºC fan-forced). Lightly dust a baking tray with flour.

  • 2.Place the flour into a large bowl. Add the butter, nutmeg and salt, rubbing together to combine until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir through the cheese and parsley.

  • 3.In a jug, whisk together the mashed pumpkin and milk. Pour into the centre of the dry ingredients combining to form the dough.

  • 4. Place onto a lightly floured bench kneading together. Roll the dough to a 2cm thickness and cut into nine circles using a cutter, roughly 4cm each in diameter. Place onto a baking tray and sprinkle with a little extra cheese. Place into the oven for 18 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.

  • 5. Serve with butter while warm.
