Ingredients:

• 2 cups unbleached white flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, chopped
• 1/2 of buttermilk or plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup cooked pumpkin purée
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

• Preheat an oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two knives until the butter is reduced to small crumbs. In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin, buttermilk and vanilla. Add this to the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.

• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead a few times. Shape the dough into little rounds about 1-inch thick and 2 inches in diameter. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
