Cape Ann Recipes: Pumpkin-Pecan Biscuits

2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. each ground cinnamon and nutmeg
1/2 cup butter or margarine, cut into pieces
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
2/3 cup mashed, cooked fresh pumpkin, or canned solid pack pumpkin
1/3 cup half and half

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cut butter into flour
mixture until it resembles small peas. Stir in pecans. In a glass measuring cup, combine
pumpkin and half & half. Stir into flour mixture. Dough should be stiff. Turn dough onto lightly
floured surface. Knead several times. If dough is too wet to handle, add more flour. Pat dough
out to 1/2'' thickness. Cut out with 2'' cutter.

Place biscuits on lightly greased baking sheets, about 1'' apart. Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes
or until golden brown. Serve hot with butter and honey.
