Pumpkin Spice Biscuits

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. That being said, I’m not a scary movie or haunted house person. I think I got that out of my system when I was younger. (I’ve lived in Orlando for nearly 20 years and still have not gone to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios, which sabot 10 minutes from my house.) But, when it comes to food for Halloween, it’s so fun to get creative. I used to always make these biscuits with gluten, they were not only part of Halloween but the Thanksgiving bread basket as well! They’re just the right size for mini sandwiches, so fill them with whatever you like. I think a good quality ham is perfect. If you’re a pumpkin fan as I am, you’ll appreciate this savory variety.
