1

Split and quarter pumpkins, take out the core/seeds. Lightly oil a baking tray, place cut up pumpkin pieces and bake at 350 until a fork can pierce through and skin comes off easily. Peel off skin and leave to cool.

Grease 3 8 inch baking pans and lightly coat with flour while waiting for pumpkins to cool.
3

Puree the cooked pumpkins in a food processor.
4

Put the first seven ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly on low speed. Add the butter in pieces and mix until it resembles sand.
5

In a separate bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin, milk and vanilla.

With the mixer on low speed, add half of the milk mixture. Mix and scrape down then add the remaining milk mixture in 2 additions.

Pour into pans and bake at 350 for 30 - 35mins.
