Pumpkin Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Stir together dry ingredients.
2. 2
   Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. 3
   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.
4. 4
   On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a half-inch thick.
5. 5
   Using a 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter in a simple shape of your choice (such as a pumpkin or leaf), dip the cutter into flour, shake off excess and press into biscuit dough.
6. 6
   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.
7. 7
   Serve hot with butter and honey or apple butter.
