- 1 tablespoom of baking powder;
- 1 teaspoom of baking soda;

Instructions
For the pumpkin puree:Peel, clean and wash the pumpkin pieces.
Cut them into cubes and steam until they are tender.
Mash the steamed pumpkin cubes using a mixer or food processor.
In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt) and then add butter cut into small pieces.
Mix it using your fingertips till the mixture is "crumbly".
In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree with milk and vanilla extract, and add this mixture to the crumbly mixture, starting to work the mixture rapidly, with your hands, until you will get a homogeneous pastry.
Place the pastry on a floury surface and divide it in 3 or 4 pastry balls.
Then, using a knife cut the pastry balls into 6 slices, like a "pizza".
Bake them in the oven (180 degrees) for about 25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
