1/2 teaspoon plain salt or iodized salt from your pantry (Check for ghosts first)
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg from your pantry
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground cloves from your pantry
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated cinnamon from your pantry
1/8 heaping teaspoon baking powder (Check expiration date)
1/2 cup all purpose flour from your pantry. Find any Halloween ghosts...???
3 tablespoons fresh butter from the butter churn or local store
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese from the cheese wheel.

Before you start this recipe, open your pantry and kitchen cupboard doors
and check inside for Ghosts or Goblins...!

Bring large pot of water to boil. Add salt AFTER it starts boiling.

Whisk pumpkin, egg, salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and baking powder in large bowl to blend. Mix in the flour: (Note: dough will be soft).

Dip 1/2-teaspoon measuring spoon into boiling salted water to moisten. Scoop up generous 1/2 teaspoon of dough and return spoon to water, allowing dough to drop. Working in 2 batches, repeat dropping 1/2 teaspoonfuls of dough into water, first dipping spoon into water to moisten each time. Boil dumpling until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the dumplings out and place them in a colander to drain.

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add the dumplings. Cook until beginning to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer hot dumplings to bowl. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.

Halloween pumpkin dumplings are easy to make for the Fall and holiday season. These delicious dumplings are similar to Italian gnocchi.

Serve these with pumpkin soup and use these dumplings, cooked separately, as a garnish. Can also be used as a side dish for a Autumn brunch, Halloween dinner party or for that special Thanksgiving Day dinner.

Please enjoy this recipe and have a very happy and safe Halloween and Holiday season.
