Pumpkin biscuits

Pumpkin biscuits

Ingredients:
2cups all purpouse flour, more if needed
1⁄4cup brown sugar
1teaspoon salt
3tablespoons baking powder
1teaspoon cinnamon
1⁄2teaspoon nutmeg
1⁄4teaspoon allspice
1⁄8teaspoon ginger
1⁄3cup butter, cold
3⁄4cup pumpkin
3⁄4cup milk

 Directions:

Stir together dry ingredients. Using your hands or a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add pumpkin and milk, stirring just until ingredients are moistened and a soft dough forms. If the dough seems very soft, add more flour, a few tablespoons at a time, just until the dough is easy to handle.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a half-inch thick. Using a 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter in a simple shape of your choice, dip the cutter into flour, shake off excess and press into biscuit dough.

Place biscuits on a lightly greased cookie sheet one-inch apart and bake at 450 degrees F for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve hot with butter and honey or apple butter.
