Pumpkin Walnut Biscuits
- 1 34 cups flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar, plus a little extra for topping
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 34 teaspoon salt
- 34 teaspoon cinnamon
- 34 teaspoon ground ginger
- 5 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 12 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 12 cup light cream, plus a little extra for glaze
- 13 cup solidly packed cooked pumpkin or 13 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 12 tablespoons honey
- Heat the oven to 375F.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
- Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to work in the butter.
- Keep mixing until the ingredients resemble a coarse, flaky meal, then stir in the chopped walnuts.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together the cream, pumpkin, and honey.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the liquid into it.
- Stir briskly until the dough pulls together, then let it sit for 3 minutes.
- Flour your hands and your work surface.
- Gently knead the dough into a ball, then pat it into a 1-inch-thick disk.
- Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter or drinking glass, cut the dough into rounds and place them on a lightly greased cookie sheet, leaving a couple of inches between them.
- Repeat this process until you've used all the dough.
- Brush the biscuit tops sparingly with cream and then sprinkle on a little sugar.
- Bake the biscuits on the center oven rack until they are light golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
