Stir the pumpkin, buttermilk and 1 egg into the flour mixture in the bowl. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth.

Place dough on lined tray. Press out to a 8 inch disc. Use a floured knife to lightly score the dough into 8 even wedges. Whisk remaining egg in a bowl. Brush over the dough. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Bake for 15 mins. Reduce oven to 360F and bake for additional 15 mins. Cool.

Cut into wedges, sprinkle with a tsp. of Slocal pumpkin oil and serve with extra butter. Enjoy and bon apetit!
