The biscuits were adapted from MyRecipes.
Pumpkin Biscuits with Cinnamon Honey Butter - makes about 14 biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
5 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup buttermilk (I used 1/3 cup milk mixed with 1 teaspoon white vinegar and allowed it to sit for 10 minutes.)
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
3 tablespoons honey


Preheat oven to 400ºF.

• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and salt.

Cut in butter into small pieces and with a pastry blender, cut it into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal.

• Chill for 10 minutes.
• Combine buttermilk and honey, and stir with a whisk until well blended.

Add canned pumpkin and mix well.

• Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture and stir until just combined.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly 4 times. 

Roll dough into a (1/2-inch-thick) 9 x 5–inch rectangle; dust top of dough with flour. 

• Fold dough crosswise into thirds (like you're folding a piece of paper to fit into an envelope). Reroll dough into a (1/2-inch-thick) 9 x 5–inch rectangle; dust top of dough with flour. 

• Fold dough crosswise into thirds; gently roll or pat to a 3/4-inch thickness. 

• Cut dough with a 1 3/4-inch biscuit cutter to form 14 dough rounds. 

Place biscuits, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper one inch apart.
Bake at 400° for 14 minutes or until golden.

Remove from pan; cool 2 minutes on wire racks. Serve warm with Cinnamon Honey Butter

  I rate everything I bake on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the best and these Pumpkin Biscuits with Cinnamon Honey Butter earned 3 rolling pins.
  The pumpkin made the biscuits moist, but they weren't as flaky as I would have liked them.
  They were absolutely delicious with the cinnamon honey butter.
  That stuff was just unreal!
  
  
  These would be a nice addition to your Thanksgiving table!  Just make sure you make extra Cinnamon Honey Butter to pass.
  
  
  I give you BIG baking hugs and muffins!!
  Thanks for reading!
