Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting work areas
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup cold butter cut into small cubes, or frozen and grated
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 Tbsp Buttermilk
  • Honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 °F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cold butter.
  • Using a pastry blender, cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with some pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
  • Create a "well" in the center of the flour mixture. Add pumpkin and buttermilk; stir with a fork or rubber spatula until dough comes together in a shaggy ball.
  • Turn dough onto a well-floured surface, knead a few times. Pat dough into a square approximately 1-inch thick. Fold dough in half, then turn a quarter-turn and fold in half again.
  • Pat or roll dough into 1-inch thick rectangle. Picture a 3x4 grid and mark the dough with a sharp knife before cutting into individual biscuits. Arrange biscuits on prepared baking sheet and, if time permits, place baking sheet in freezer 10 minutes.
  • Bake chilled biscuits 20–24 minutes, or until gold brown. Allow biscuits to cool at least 5 minutes before serving. This helps prevent the insides from being gummy. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter and honey. Store any leftover in an airtight container.
