Step 1: Position a rack in the top third of your oven, and preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
Step 3: Work in the butter just until the mixture is unevenly crumbly.
Step 4: Toss the cheddar with the flour mixture, then add the pumpkin.
Step 5: Stir until the dough is evenly moistened and holds together, adding milk a tablespoon at a time if necessary.
Step 6: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, and flatten it into a 3/4" thick disk.
Step 7: Cut the biscuits with a 3" round cutter and space them on the prepared pan.
Step 8: Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk or melted butter, if desired, and bake them for 18 to 20 minutes, until they're golden brown.
Step 9: Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve them warm.
Step 10: Yield: 8 to 10 large (3") biscuits.
