Now it's time to make the pumpkin biscuits that are going to go on top of the filling. Put the heat on low medium heat while you make the biscuits. Also, at this point you can taste the filling and add any salt and/or pepper that you'd like. But, keep in mind that you are going to have that extra pop of flavor with the spiced pumpkin biscuits on the top of the pie
