  • 2 teaspoons  baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon  ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon  ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon  freshly grated nutmeg or a Dash of ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon  ground cloves

  • 1/3 cup  buttermilk
  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 teaspoon  vanilla
  • 2 cups  all-purpose flour

Directions

1. In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high seed for 30 seconds. Add the 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in pumpkin, buttermilk, egg, egg yolk and vanilla until combined. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour until well combined. Cover and chill 3 hours.
