Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to your flour mixture and cut in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla extract; stir until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a round cutter.
- Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Use cold butter for a flaky texture and don't overmix the dough for perfect biscuits.
