                    Our two daughters love munching on these rich pecan-studded biscuits for breakfast. I make dozens and serve them piping-hot with butter and honey. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour  |  
                                                1/4 cup sugar  |  
                                                4 teaspoons baking powder  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg  |  
                                                1/2 cup cold butter  |  
                                                1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted  |  
                                                2/3 cup canned pumpkin  |  
                                                1/3 cup half-and-half cream  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Combine pumpkin and cream; stir into dry ingredients. Turn onto a floured surface; knead four to six times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.                              |
