Since becoming a self-rising flour convert last month when I made & shared with you all the recipe for these beyond amazing Easy Pumpkin Cream Biscuits, I have been on the hunt for even more fabulous fall baking recipes I could come up with using this miracle flour. 






I say miracle flour because for whatever reason self-rising flour produces a much more fluffier end product with an amazing texture that I was just never really able to achieve by simply sifting the flour, baking powder, and salt myself. Don't ask me why- it just must be all in the way that it is sifted at King Arthur. ;)






When I was doing my self-rising recipe research a couple of weeks ago, it occurred to me that I really don't have that many homemade donut recipes on the blog. Actually there is one to be exact- my Cinnamon-Sugar Apple Butter Donuts. I decided that it was time to change that already. 






Seeing as how I had some buttermilk leftover from another fabulous fall baking recipe I had been working on a few days before (stay tuned- that one will be on the blog before too long!), I knew I wanted to make a moist buttermilk cake donut. And what says fall has arrived more than pumpkin? Am I right here, folks? :)

I am partnering with King Arthur today to bring you all this recipe. As always, all opinions expressed below are 100% my own.








Brace yourself, my friends. The season of all things pumpkin is almost upon us! And quite frankly, I have been having a hard time not sharing this recipe for Easy Pumpkin Cream Biscuits with you all sooner. But I figured I should at least wait until it was almost September. ;) August 28th is close enough, right?






I have actually been in the kitchen for a couple of weeks now creating and then photographing a few pumpkin recipes to share with you all on the blog a little later on. 






Granted, it felt a little strange whipping up pumpkin recipes in the middle of August, but deadlines are deadlines and often brands want recipes for Halloween & Thanksgiving a couple of months ahead of the curve. 






But I haven't been complaining! I adore pumpkin... and fall... and baking for the fall holidays. :)






First up for Fall 2015? These super simple, soft & thick Easy Pumpkin Cream Biscuits. And when I say easy, I really mean easy, folks. 






Thanks to the good folks at King Arthur, I just became a self-rising flour convert. I brushed off self-rising flour before simply because I thought how hard could it be to add a few ingredients to flour myself and be done with it? 






But I found something out real quick after receiving and using my first bag of King Arthur Self-Rising Flour- the right self-rising flour makes THE BEST homemade biscuits...
