Pumpkin Biscuits


October offers warm thoughts of autumn, cooler days, comfort food and family and friends getting together and making memories.   I love breads for on the weekends for breakfast with a hot cup of coffee.  I created this recipe this morning, enjoy and have some fun, have more fun and add some Kahlua to your coffee, weekends of course.  The main thing, just have fun!
Preheat oven 400 degrees
Place in a mixing bowl
2 cups of flour
¼ cup brown sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon all spice
½ teaspoon clove
Mix well to incorporate all dry ingredients

Cut in 1 stick of cold butter cubed

Add gently by hand
1/3 cup of whole milk with 1 teaspoon of vanilla
½ can of Libby’s canned pumpkin
½ cup dried cranberry’s

Mix gently, dough will be soft.  Turn onto a floured surface, knead slightly.  I used a round biscuit cutter.
You may need to use a spatula to move from floured surface to baking sheet

Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet – 400 degrees for approximately 20 minutes. 


Let the biscuits cool a bit before serving.  Wonderful with honey!  Bacon would be a nice addition as well.  The salty and sweet would be comforting and tasty.  Do not forget that cup of coffee with cream and Kahlua or a Mimosa!  Enjoy and have fun!  Please drink responsibly!
