TWD: Pumpkin Biscuits

sconespumpkin

I really liked the creamy texture that the pumpkin added to these biscuits. Even my dad told me he liked these. I thought I was actually making progress with changing my family's mind about pumpkin until he had another one and realized that he was just starving before. O well, pumpkin just isn't for this family. I have to admit that I wasn't crazy about the taste of these either (or my embarrassing flour spots). Maybe it would have been better with the sweet potato, but I had some leftover pumpkin from the pumpkin patch cupcakes that I wanted to finish up.

Thanks to Erin of Prudence Pennywise for choosing this week's recipe! Don't forget to visit the TWD Blogroll.

  1. teph, these pumpkin bikkies look really good, but I can't get those Amy Sedaris cuppies you made out of my mind. They're stunning!

    I'm not sure what an 1M tip is (one of those flat ones?), but I've gotta try what you did. Do I start at the centre and work my way out?

  7. Those look fantastic. I love biscuits! I haven't made them in ages though, but I'm going to be making some pumpkin puree this afternoon...

    Oh and flour spots aren't flaws, they just make them rustic. ;)

  8. I can't believe how well your's rose. Mine rose a bit, but not nearly that much. I'm glad, though, to finally see that someone else's were a funky yellow orange and had flour spots!
