1/4 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger

4 eggs

In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Set aside.
In a medium sized saucepan, bring water, butter, and salt, to a boil.
When boiling, add flour mixture all at once. Stir over heat until dough forms into a ball. Set aside to cool slightly, 7-10 minutes.
With a wooden spoon or the paddle attachment on an electric mixer, beat in eggs one at a time until dough is smooth. Add in vanilla, and pumpkin. Mix well.
