Sugar  "A batch of these intriguingly flavored biscuits is a nice
addition  to any meal. This particular biscuit has a tendency to
overbrown on  the bottom, so use a light-colored metal baking sheet
instead of a  nonstick sheet. Serve the biscuits hot with butter."
Preheat oven to 450 F.  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.
If you must have jelly with the, choose a delicate  apple jelly so the
subtle pumpkin flavor is not masked.  From: Cooking From Quilt Country
