Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)

- Add cold butter and work into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Notes
For a lighter texture, avoid overmixing the dough and use cold ingredients. For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut oil for butter.
