1 1/2 cups flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a mini muffin pan.



In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside.



In a small bowl, mix together the milk and pumpkin. Set aside.



In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and 1/2 cup of sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue mixing.



Add the dry ingredients gradually, alternating with the pumpkin/milk mixture.
