Pumpkin Black Walnut Cardamom Biscuits

 

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 - 1/2 tsp. cardamom

1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cold

1/3 cup finely chopped black walnuts

2/3 cup canned or mashed, cooked pumpkin

1/2 cup buttermilk, or a bit more if needed

sugar

 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Sift together the flour,

sugar, baking powder and soda, salt, and spices into a

large bowl. Cut in the butter (or use food processor)

until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the

nuts. In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin and

buttermilk. Add it to the flour mixture and stir to

combine. The dough will be quite stiff and not all the

flour will be incorporated.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured cloth and

knead gently a few times to work in the rest of the

flour. Roll out the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness and

cut with a 2-inch-round cutter. Transfer the biscuits

to a lightly oiled shiny baking sheet, and sprinkle

tops with sugar. Bake for 10 minutes, do not let them

get too brown. Serve immediately with butter.

Makes 12 biscuits.
