List of Ingredients




2 c Unbleached all purpose flour
1/4 tsp Ground allspice
2 Tbs Sugar
1/2 c Butter, cold
1 Tbs Baking powder
1/3 c Finely chopped black walnuts
1 tsp Baking soda
2/3 c Canned (solid pack)or mashed cooked -pumpkin
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 c Buttermilk, or a bit more if -needed
1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp Grated nutmeg
Sugar


Recipe



Preheat oven to 450 F.

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, salt, and spices into a large bowl. Cut in the butter (or use food processor) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the nuts.

In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin and buttermilk. Add it to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The dough will be quite stiff and not all the flour will be incorporated.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured cloth and knead gently a few times to work in the rest of the flour. Roll out the dough to a 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a 2 inch round cutter. Transfer the biscuits to a lightly oiled shiny baking sheet, and sprinkle tops with sugar.

Bake for 10 minutes--do not let them get too brown. Serve immediately with butter.

This biscuit has a tendency to over brown on the bottom, so use a light-colored metal baking sheet instead of a nonstick sheet. Serve the biscuits hot with butter.
