Peel and cut the pumpkin into small pieces.
Boil the pumpkin in water until soft, then drain and mash it into a smooth paste.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed pumpkin, flour, salt, and melted butter.
Mix everything together and knead until a soft, smooth dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to medium thickness.
Cut the dough into small round or circular shapes.
Make small holes in the centre of each piece using a fork.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the dough rounds until golden brown on both sides.
Remove and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm with traditional pebre salsa or sweet chancaca syrup.
