Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Add cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree and buttermilk until smooth and well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Use a
- 5-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting to ensure even rising.
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and slightly risen.
- While biscuits are baking, prepare the cinnamon honey butter by mixing softened butter, honey, and a pinch of cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Remove biscuits from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
- Serve warm with the cinnamon honey butter, allowing it to melt slightly into the biscuits.
Tips
- Chill Your Butter: Make sure your butter is cold when you add it to the dry ingredients. This helps create flaky layers in your biscuits.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
- Use a Sharp Cutter: When cutting out the biscuits, use a sharp biscuit cutter and press straight down without twisting. This ensures they rise evenly.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add nutmeg or ginger to the biscuit dough for an extra layer of flavor that complements the pumpkin.
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best served warm, so enjoy them fresh out of the oven with the cinnamon honey butter melting on top for the ultimate treat!
