Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter (very cold, preferably frozen)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking your biscuits to golden perfection.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice thoroughly to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
- Add Cold Butter: Grate or cube the very cold unsalted butter and add it to the dry mixture. The cold butter is crucial for flaky layers. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the dough begins to come together, with some flour still visible.
- Fold Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a flat rectangle. Fold the rectangle into thirds, pressing down gently, and then pat it out again. Repeat this folding process three more times to build layers.
- Shape and Cut Biscuits: Pat the dough into a final rectangle about 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Using a 2-3 inch biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out 6 to 12 biscuits depending on the thickness and cutter size.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the cut biscuits close together on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, touching each other and close to the edges to help them rise tall and fluffy.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven at 425°F for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are a beautiful golden brown.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is very cold or even slightly frozen to create flaky biscuit layers.
- Do not overmix the dough; a slightly shaggy dough helps keep biscuits light and tender.
- Placing biscuits close together on the pan helps them rise higher during baking.
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
- Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
