    Pumpkin shortbreads

    Shortbreads, deliciously, buttery scottish biscuits. I bet no one can resist eating just one of these uttlerly buttery delicious biscuits. My lil one is a die-hard fan of shortbreads. My elder one, even as a child was not into cookies/biscuits. He prefers breads and cakes instead, he is the reason behind a long list of breads and cakes in my blog.

    My Lil one he loves cookies and biscuits. Yes, of course those are 2 different things, which we will discuss in another post. His favorite grocery item would be Walkers Shortbreads. Seeing his interest, i started baking them at home.

    Pumpkin Shortbread

    Traditional shortbread is made with just sugar, butter and flour. To this basic recipe we can mix and match other ingredients to make our own recipe of shortbreads.

    Pumpkin shortbread is made by adding pumpkin puree to the original shortbread recipe. I have used homemade pumpkin puree to make this pumpkin shortbread.

    How to make pumpkin puree

    • Preheat the Oven to 200C.
    • Place big chunks of pumpkin on a baking tray. Keep the skin and stringy fibers. They come out easily after baking.
    • Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check the done-ness, by inserting a knife/fork into the baked pumpkin, if it goes in smoothly, it is done.
    • Remove the stringy fibers and seeds. Pumpkin seeds are edible, toast and enjoy them.
    • Scoop out the flesh using a big spoon. Take it to a blender and blend smooth. The puree can be frozen for about 5-6 months.
    • Baking the pumpkin and blending , results in a good textured and thick puree than boiling/steaming method. As the later makes the puree little loose because of water content.
