Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup raisins

3/4 cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
In a big bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients; cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; mix in raisins.
In a small bowl, mix egg, pumpkin, and buttermilk; add to flour mixture and mix until blended and a soft dough forms.
Turn out dough onto a floured work surface and roll into a circle 3/4 inches thick.
Cut out rounds using 2-inch round cookie cutter and place on ungreased baking sheet.
Reroll scraps and repeat.
Brush tops with the beaten egg white and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool slightly on wire rack and serve warm.
