This was a huge hit and incredibly easy to make. I used red kuri squash and steamed as directed, but next time I will peel before steaming instead of after. I accidentally peeled some of it beforehand, and I couldn’t notice any difference in the result, but it was easier to peel raw rather than steamed.

This recipe was so good! I love the crisp and biting into pumpkin flavor. My family is debating on what to classify these as, definitely dessert but they don’t agree with them being called cakes. Donuts is slightly close with the fried dough. My brother said they are patties. Nothing quite fits for putting western classifications on it, they just are unique!

In reply to Natasha. So happy to hear you like the recipe! I think you can freeze the dough, but it might be better to assemble the pumpkins cakes and freeze the uncooked cakes. I have not tried freezing the dough and not sure if it's still easy to work with once frozen.

I love this recipe! Already made it 4 times! Maggie, can you freeze the pumpkin dough? Will thawing change its texture and affect anything significantly?
Thank you!!

In reply to Helen. I usually just heat them over medium low heat in a pan with a bit oil to get the outside crisp up again. I think a toaster oven should work at a low temp (300 to 350 F).

Hi Maggie! How do you recommend reheating these buns the day after cooking them to keep their texture as best as possible? Thanks so much!

Would steaming the dough and baking it to crispness a good alternative? Thank you!
