- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg a little goes a long way in creating depth of flavor.

Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Whisk well.
- Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Cut into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mix and gently stir until just combined. Aim for a shaggy dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat down to a thickness of about 1 inch and cut out biscuits. Gather scraps to re-roll.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. Enjoy the aroma!
- Allow biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack or enjoy warm.
