Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup melted butter (plus 2 tbsp for brushing)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional)
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- Pinch of ground cloves (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 2–3 tbsp buttermilk (if needed)
- 2 tbsp cinnamon sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and any additional spices until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
- Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in the pumpkin mixture.
- Gently fold together just until no dry flour remains. If dough seems dry, add 1-2 tbsp buttermilk.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Using a 2-3 inch biscuit cutter, cut straight down without twisting to create biscuits.
- Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and biscuits feel set.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For maximum fluffiness, handle the dough as little as possible.
- Frozen grated butter can be substituted for melted butter for even flakier biscuits.
- Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
