Traditional Papas with Pumpkin

1/2 large pumpkin (approx 1kg), peeled and cut into chunks

500 ml water

1 tbsp butter

2-3 tbsp sugar (depending on preference)

Pinch salt

4 tbsp all purpose flour

to taste Sweet ground cinnamon

Add the pumpkin and water to a large saucepan and season with a pinch of salt. Cover with lid and steam boil the pumpkin until the water has evaporated and the pumpkin is super soft. Mine took about an hour and I would shake the pan often to avoid the pumpkin sticking and to stop the steam escaping avoided lifting the lid as much as possible.

Using a blender, blend the pumpkin until smooth.

Return to a medium-low heat and add the butter, sugar and flour. Gently simmer stirring often for 5 minutes.

Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Serve sprinkled with cinnamon to taste.
