Every year we make a trip to the US to shop and one of my favourite places to shop is the Williams-Sonoma store. This year they were serving samples of this made with their own Pecan Pumpkin Butter and giving away the recipe. Since I can't buy the pumpkin butter here I adapted the recipe to use a butter recipe already on Zaar. Absolutely delicious!

Tips:
- Prep the Crust First: Before starting on the filling, prepare the crust. This will give it time to chill and firm up, resulting in a flakier, more delicious crust.
- Use Fresh Pumpkin: For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin purée. Simply cut a pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds and stringy bits, and bake it cut-side down in a baking dish with a little water until tender. Then, scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense squares. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake Until the Center is Set: The squares are done baking when the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin squares are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. With their flaky crust, creamy filling, and warm spices, they're sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give pumpkin squares a try. You won't be disappointed!
