I believe the answer is:

scotch pine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'deal one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'put an end to hunger' is the wordplay.
'put an end' becomes 'scotch' (I've seen this before).
'to hunger' becomes 'pine' (I've seen this in another clue).
'scotch'+'pine'='SCOTCH PINE'

'makes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
