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
Instructions
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.
