Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 9 tablespoons (1 stick + 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter, divided
- 3/4 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet by spraying with nonstick spray or lining it with a silpat mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients and cut in butter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Cut in 1/2 cup of the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree and buttermilk, then add this to the flour and butter mixture, stirring just until moistened to form the dough.
- Knead and shape dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8 to 10 times, adding more flour as needed. Pat or roll the dough to a 1-inch thickness.
- Cut biscuits: Use a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, placing them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Brush with butter and serve: Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and brush it over the warm biscuits. Serve immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version, but the texture may vary.
- Use cold butter when cutting into the flour to achieve a flaky biscuit texture.
- Kneading should be gentle and minimal to keep biscuits tender.
- For extra flavor, drizzle warm biscuits with honey after brushing with butter.
- Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven, so check for a golden-brown color.
