QuestionI have a problem and am hoping you can help me. I love recipes that have you put biscuits on top, like creamed chicken and biscuits. However the problem I have is that when you put them on top to bake, the underside of the biscuit never gets cooked. It's always still doughy and runny at times. How do I correct this to be able to bake them on top? Thank you for any help you can give :-) --LauraMarch 2012

Question
Hi Denise,
My goodness, I didn’t realize there are so many people allergic to cinnamon! I had this very question a couple of weeks ago, but about Cinnamon-less Apple Pie. The advice there holds true for pumpkin pie as well: You can substitute another spice (like nutmeg or allspice), or simply omit the cinnamon.
And if you haven't finalized your menu yet, you might want to browse all my Thanksgiving Recipes!My boyfriend is allergic to cinnamon and he wants pumpkin pie. What can I use instead of cinnamon?
