My ultimate favorite New York City Southerner, Jessica Staton, sent me not only a great recipe in the mail the other day, but she included it’s key ingredient: pumpkin butter! Now, I have never cooked with pumpkin butter but you can bet if Jess Staton likes it, it is meant to be tried by all. Now, I jacked up the last step because I wasn’t paying attention but they still look and taste amazing. So here you go!
Jess’ Famous Pumpkin Butter Bars!
What You Need:

1 Tbsp flour
1/4 c. sugar
1/4c butter softened
1 tsp. cinnamon
What You Do:
