Sometimes you just need a biscuit. One that's warm from the oven and pillow-soft in the middle. These particular scruffy-looking biscuits have become a recent obsession of mine, owing in great part to the fact that they're incredibly easy to throw together. They're also studded with bits of smoky bacon and flavored with sharp cheddar cheese - who can resist that?
Our skillet version of this popular dish features sautéed chicken breasts topped with ham and Swiss cheese all simmered in a creamy white wine sauce. This is a restaurant quality meal that goes from stove-top to table in just 40 minutes!
I flavored the dough with the pumpkin and added cardamom. I love the warmth of cardamom and it is a great partner with pumpkin. The filling was simple, toasted pecans, sugar and melted butter. The dough is only lightly sweetened so a filling with sugar is perfect for this recipe. The cream cheese icing was really the star of this bread. We love maple. We love bourbon. And the two together with cream cheese and a little sugar is … heavenly.
