These biscuits are so good with eggs, casseroles or whatever you are serving. They are even good warmed over in the microwave and filled with butter or oleo.
I know Morton, Ill., has a big pumpkin festival but this recipe came from Circleville Pumpkin Festival. Try this for a different twist on an old favorite when holiday company comes calling.
