From my Halloween files. Says to use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter for added effect. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter, cold, cut into small pieces |
2 cups pumpkin puree |
1 orange, zest of |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon heavy cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Place all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until well blended. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the pumpkin and orange zest.
3. Pat the dough 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut with a floured 2 inch cutter, or cut into 2 inch squares.
4. Place on a well greased cookie sheet. Gather up the scraps, repeat and cut again.
5. Beat the egg in a small bowl and add the cream. Brush onto the biscuits evenly with the mixture. Bake for 15 minutes or until fluffy and golden brown.
