  5. Constantly stirring, add the pumpkin mixture to the rice mixture and slowly add water.
  6. Hand mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  7. Roll dough out to desired thickness in between two sheets of baking or wax paper.
  8. Remove the top paper.
  9. Evenly pour rice flour onto the top of the dough and lightly press it to the waxed baking paper.
  10. Remove the paper and cut to desired sizes.
  11. Place in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is completely dry.
  12. Cool and store in a dry plastic or glass container until ready to be served.
