  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1.5 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 18 oz. evaporated milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • A few spices like nutmeg, ginger, etc

Method
  1. Mix butter sugar flour and vanilla all together.
  2. cook pumpkin (in a bowl with water on high in the microwave for 15 minutes should work)
  3. Mix pumpkin (skin removed) with the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  5. Line muffin tins with dough
  6. pour in pumpkin
