Attempts at Domestication

0 Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 425 degrees.
2 Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices in medium bowl.
4 Cut in butter. I prefer to "cut in" my butter by grating it with a cheese grater then working it in with my hands. Your mixture should resemble a coarse meal when done.
6 Whisk sour cream, egg, vanilla extract and pumpkin together in separate bowl.
8 Using a fork, stir wet mixture into your dry mixture until large dough clumps form. The dough will appear very dry, but keep working it with your hands until you can form a large ball.
10 Place dough ball on a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle about 3/4" thick. Using a pizza wheel, cut the rectangle in half vertically and horizontally into 4 equal sections. Then cut each section in half diagonally to form 8 triangular pieces.
12 Sprinkle sugar on top of the dough pieces.
14 Place pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake 15-17 minutes.

16 Allow to cool completely before enjoying!
18 For an extra touch of delicious, melt chocolate to drizzle on top.
