1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
