I made these pumpkin biscuits today and they were just okay.

I served them to a guest, too, which in retrospect

wasn't a good idea.

 

The biscuits tasted very strongly of whole wheat--

they are almost bitter.

A recipe variation calls for added agave nectar

and I definitely think the recipe would be better

with a sweetener added to it. The biscuits have a " healthy " ,

heavy, stick-to-your-ribs sort of taste.

But the good news is that they are low-fat,

so they are pretty much as healthy as they taste.

 

The pumpkin flavor is quite mild as are the rest of the spices.

Biscuits are usually light and flakey

and this recipe is the opposite of that-- very dense.

The bitter taste is growing on me though.

 

Here is the recipe:

 

Fat-Free Pumpkin and Raisin Biscuits

 

If you want to make the dough itself a little sweeter,

substitute agave nectar for a couple tablespoons of the soy milk.

Or, if you want sweetness without calories,

try adding a little stevia or your favorite sweetener to the batter.

 

2 cups white whole wheat flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon cloves

1/4 cup raisins

1/2 cup pumpkin (canned or cooked, pureed, and drained)

1/2 cup plain soy milk (plus additional, as needed)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

 

Preheat oven to 425F and lightly oil a non-stick baking sheet.

Mix the dry ingredients together well (flour through raisins).

Add the pumpkin and mix until crumbly (do not overmix).

Combine the soymilk and lemon juice and add it,

stirring until a soft dough forms.

If all flour is not moistened,

add additional soymilk a teaspoon at at time

until dough forms a ball.

 

Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface

and sprinkle the top lightly with flour.

Roll out about 3/4 inch thick.

Using a 1 1/2-2-inch wide biscuit cutter

or glass dipped in flour,

press straight down without twisting

to cut into 12-15 biscuits.

 

Place the biscuits, sides lightly touching, on the oiled sheet.

Bake until tops are lightly browned, 9-11 minutes. Serve hot.

 

Servings: 14

Yield: 12-15

Aww, I'm sorry you didn't like them better. My partner and I just loved

them. I'd used whole wheat pastry flour (since that was what I had in

the house) and loved the texture. I didn't taste any bitterness, but the

pumpkins we've been getting this year have been amazing, so maybe that

had something to do with it. Try spooning something sweet (like warmed

berries) over the ones you have left. Peace, Mo
