I found this recipe in my Thanksgiving issue of the food network magazine.  The recipe below makes 12 servings.

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
2 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 stick cold unsalted butter, diced, plus melted butter for brushing
1/4 cup canned pure pumpkin
1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 400F; line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl.  Whisk in 1 Tbsp Parmesan.  Add the diced butter and work it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.  Mix the pumpkin and cream in a small bowl and pour over the flour mixture.  Mix with your hands or a fork to make a soft dough.
2.  Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle using a floured rolling pin.  Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch-round cutter (we used square) and arrange about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.  Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1 Tbsp Parmesan   Bake until golden, 15-20 minutes.  Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving or cool completely the freeze.
