Delightful and soft pumpkin biscuits that blend the natural sweetness and moisture of pumpkin puree with a tender biscuit texture, perfect for a cozy fall breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder until well combined to ensure even leavening throughout the biscuits.
  2. Incorporate the butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, carefully cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree: Pour in the pumpkin puree and gently mix it into the flour and butter mixture until just combined, forming a soft dough. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  4. Shape the biscuits: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat or roll the dough to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  5. Bake the biscuits: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the biscuits for 12–15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for flaky biscuit texture.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour when shaping.
  • Serve with honey, butter, or jam for added flavor.
  • You can substitute the pumpkin puree with butternut squash puree for a similar taste.
