Here is the full recipe:
Ingredients:

2 eggs
½ cup canned pumpkin puree
2 Tablespoons dry milk powder
2 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or white)
3 to 4 teaspoons water

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  In a bowl, stir together the eggs, pumpkin puree, milk powder, and flour; add 3 to 4 teaspoons water, or enough so that the dough just comes together.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough ½ inch thick.  Cut into shapes with 1 inch cookie cutters.  Gather the scrapes, combine, roll and form more biscuits; repeat until all dough is used.
Place the biscuits 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.  Bake 20 minutes, then turn over and bake until hardened, another 20 minutes.  Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
Tip:  Wet fingertips and brush off excess flour from biscuits before placing in the oven.
