Warm, comforting, aromatic, and delicious – those are just a few words I would use to describe my Pumpkin Spice Molasses Tea Biscuits. Rustic in presentation, these tea biscuits are the definition of home style, old fashioned baking.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 teaspoons pumpkin spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone liner or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Using a hand-held mixer, blend together the molasses, butter, and milk until completely incorporated.
- Add the egg and vanilla. Mix into the molasses mixture.
- Add the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin spice. Mix until just incorporated. DO NOT OVER MIX!
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using floured hands, knead the dough a few times just to bring the dough together. Flatten with your hands into a round, disk shape.
- Dust with flour, and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to 3/8 of an inch. (If you want thicker biscuits, roll the dough a little thicker - do not roll thicker 3/4 inch or they will not bake all the way through. If you roll the dough thicker, you'll get fewer tea biscuits.)
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut the dough. Press down firmly, do not twist the cookie cutter. Twisting will result in a lopsided tea biscuit once baked.
- Place on prepared baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Bake for 14 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
