Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  3. Add Pumpkin and Buttermilk: Stir in the canned pumpkin puree, then pour in the buttermilk. Mix gently with a fork or spatula just until combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain tender biscuits.
  4. Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Gather scraps, lightly reshape, and cut until all dough is used.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Place the biscuit rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and allow the Pumpkin Biscuits to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, optionally with butter, honey, maple syrup, or cinnamon sugar.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to ensure flaky layers.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense biscuits.
  • Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for proper rise.
  • Work quickly to prevent butter from melting prematurely.
  • Bake on parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
