Ingredients:
1 medium (2-3#) winter squash (acorn, kuri, hubbard, etc)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp brown sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking pan with foil or select a cast iron pan of appropriate size.
2. Halve squash crosswise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Slice a small piece off bottom of each squash half just enough to level.
3. Set squash halves, scooped sides down, on prepared sheet. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Turn squash; prick insides all over with a fork. Divide 2 tablespoons butter and sugar between halves.
5. Continue to bake until flesh is easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
