Equipment
- 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, very cold and cut in pieces
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup cold buttermilk, or half and half, or cream for richer biscuits
dry ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder, make sure it's fresh!
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp each: cinnamon, cardamom, ground cloves, allspice and nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (Make sure it is at the correct temperature before you bake)
- Whisk the pumpkin and buttermilk together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Put the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. You can do this by hand in a mixing bowl, too.
- Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 20 pulses.
- Slowly add the pumpkin/buttermilk mixture, pulsing or stirring as you go. If the dough seems too dry, add a touch more buttermilk. If it seems excessively wet, add a bit more flour, but don't over-work it.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and bring it together into an 8 inch disc. Knead it a couple of times if necessary to bring it all together. Cut 8 biscuits with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. You will have to reform the dough, gently, a couple of times.
- Refrigerate the cut biscuits for about 20 minutes, while you clean up.
- Slide the biscuits into the oven and immediately turn it down to 425F. Bake for about 12 minutes, until risen and golden. Enjoy asap!
