Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh pumpkin puree rather than canned. To make your own puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until tender, scoop out the flesh, and puree it in a food processor or blender.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dry squares. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the squares are cooked through.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
- Dust the squares with powdered sugar before serving: This will add a touch of sweetness and elegance.
