• In a medium-sized bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and spices. Set aside.
• In a smaller bowl, stir pumpkin, milk, melted butter and vanilla together to combine. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix to create a thick batter. Pour into a small 8-inch casserole dish with high sides.
