In a stand mixer with the bread attachment, combine 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Gently stir to integrate the dry ingredients.

Add 3 tablespoons of melted butter and 1 cup of chilled pumpkin puree to the mixture.

Mix until a smooth dough forms.

Take the dough out of the stand mixer and knead it on the counter to make it springy.

Let the dough rest for 20 minutes.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.

Use a 3-inch scalloped biscuit cutter to cut out shapes from the dough.

Poke several fork holes in each piece to keep them flat while cooking.

Heat oil in a pan to 350 degrees.

Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, working in batches.
