Instructions for Pumpkin Biscuits:

Preheat the oven to 375F.
Lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and the butter. Mix until the mixture feels like cornmeal.
Add the pumpkin puree and mix until it reaches the cornmeal texture again.
Add the eggs one at a time. Mix well between each addition. Scrap the bowl down.
Slowly add the buttermilk. Mix on slow so it doesn’t spill while mixing. Mix until fully mixed. The mixture will still be loose.
Mix in the spiced candied walnuts.
On a clean floured surface, roll out the dough to ½ inch thick.
Use a cutter or knife to cut the shapes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Egg wash the top of each biscuit. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Bake until golden brown.
