MY LOVELY niece in Canada sent me this recipe last year. I had never heard of pumpkin spice biscuits before. This year we have had our usual crop of “feral” pumpkins, so I plan on making these delicious, spicy biscuits very soon. Although they don’t look very inspiring, I’m sure you will enjoy them as much as I do.
