Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup flour
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 6 tbsp chilled butter cut into pieces
• 3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
• 1/3 cup buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
Using a pastry cutter, cut in the chilled butter, until it looks like coarse meal, with some pea sized butter pieces remaining.
In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and buttermilk.
Then add the pumpkin/buttermilk mixture to the flour.
Stir with a fork, but don't over mix.
Then turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead into a ball. It is supposed to be lumpy - that's what makes them so buttery and crumbly!
Then flatten the ball into a circle disc shape, about 1 inch thick. The disc should be big enough to get 8 biscuits cut out of it.
Using a pizza cutter, cut the disc into 8 pieces.
Bake for 20 minutes.
