Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
• 0.75 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.25 cup buttermilk, cold
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0 as needed extra flour for dusting
• 0 as needed melted butter (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter chunks.

Step 4

In a smaller mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, cold buttermilk, and honey. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together—do not overmix.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently 2–3 times to bring it together, then pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Step 7

Use a floured biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Re-roll scraps as needed, but handle the dough minimally to avoid tough biscuits.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 13–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Optional: Brush the tops of the warm biscuits with melted butter for a glossy finish.

Step 10

Serve the pumpkin biscuits warm, either plain or with butter, honey, or jam.
