Preheat & Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized casserole dish or a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter. -
Mix the Base:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, and sugar until smooth. -
Add the Rest:
Stir in the self-rising flour, eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix gently until all ingredients are fully combined into a creamy batter. -
Bake to Perfection:
Pour the mixture into your prepared casserole dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the top is lightly golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. -
Serve Warm:
Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm as a comforting side dish, or drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup on top for a sweet twist.
