Pumpkin Biscuits!

I usually make squash rolls for Thanksgiving - they are quite a tasty roll for anytime, but especially wonderful for Thanksgiving dinner. But, yesterday I saw a recipe from allrecipes.com for pumpkin biscuits and I am thinking very seriously about making them this year. I thought you might enjoy the recipe, so here it is . . . 

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon 
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ cup butter, sliced 
• 2 cups pumpkin purée

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.

Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger in a large bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in pumpkin until moistened.

Pat dough out into a ½-inch thickness onto a lightly floured surface. Fold dough in half, press out. Repeat about twelve times. This is called "laminating the dough" and matters if you want wonderfully flaky layers of delicious biscuits! 

Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch round cutter: place on the prepared cookie sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until centers bounce back when gently pressed, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Enjoy!
