Spiced Pumpkin Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup chilled margarine, cut into bits
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup plain yogurt (not lowfat or nonfat)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0.
In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, nutmeg, and allspice.
Add in the margarine and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture is mealy.
In a small bowl, stir the pumpkin puree and yogurt together until blended; add to the dry mixture, and stir until the dough is sticky, adding a little more yogurt if necessary.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead about 8 times.
Pat out 1/2 inch thick and cut out rounds with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
Pat the scrapes together and cut out more rounds.
Arrange the rounds on a baking sheet about 1 inch apart and bake in the upper third of the oven until golden, about 12 minutes.
