The ingredient amounts are as a guide only. Depending on how much pumpkin/butternut you've cooked, you may need to adjust the amount of flour, in particular, to ensure the dough isn't too sticky. Also, you may then need to increase the other ingredients as well so they don't end up as basically flour biscuits without much flavour of anything else!  The ingredient amounts are as a guide only.
