Pumpkin Spice Biscuits

Several weeks ago I made Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars and afterward had half a can of pumpkin left over. Hating to waste the perfectly good Pumpkin,  I made Pumpkin Biscuits and they were a hit. Mind you,  all of my grandchildren were here and they can be picky about trying new things…not these. They loved them. So I made a bigger batch,  and once again…the kids were taking them home for their breakfast the next morning.

So, if you’re looking for a new way to include Pumpkin into your Fall menu or Thanksgiving  Dinner, here you go!

It’s easy as pie…first melt a stick of butter in a saucepan on the stove and add 1/2 cup sugar.

pumpkin butter

Stir over low heat until the butter has melted. Add 1 can pumpkin, 1 /2 cup milk and 1 Teaspoon spice to butter mixture. I used a Pumpkin Pie Spice one time and cinnamon the next. They are equally good.

pumpkin butter flour

Remove pan from heat and gradually  stir in 3 1/2 cups self-rising flour into pumpkin mixture until combined.

Turn out onto a well floured board. Gently work in about 1 more cup of flour, more or less, until dough is smooth and not sticky.

Cut with biscuit cutter and place on a lightly greased pan. Bake in a preheated 425* oven for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

      Yes, I thought making scones. I would drizzle a glaze over them and use cream in place of the milk, maybe a tad more sugar…but you’re right..very sconey…and very good…. 😉 thanks for commenting!

    I bake without gluten, and love using pumpkin in scones (with craisins!!) Or muffins! So easy and delicious! And love adding a bit of cardamom to the spice blend.
    I often add cooked quinoa to my GF blend (generally sorghum, coconut flour, tapioca …)

    Boy do they look yummy! Did you know you can freeze pumpkin? It has worked quite nicely on occasion.
