Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and buttermilk until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the pumpkin-buttermilk mixture. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat or roll it to approximately 1-inch thickness.
- Using a
- 5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are slightly touching each other to help them rise.
- Gather the remaining dough scraps, gently re-roll, and cut additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and have risen.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice for extra flavor.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Angel Biscuits!
Tips
- Use Cold Ingredients: For the flakiest biscuits, ensure your butter is cold and cubed. This helps create those delightful layers as the biscuits bake.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix gently until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so keep it light!
- Flour Your Surface: When rolling out the dough, make sure to flour your surface to prevent sticking and ensure a smooth, easy cut.
- Experiment with Spice: Feel free to adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to suit your taste. If you love a stronger spice flavor, add a bit more!
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed warm from the oven. Consider brushing them with melted butter and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice right before serving for an extra touch of flavor.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers (though we doubt you will!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or freeze them for longer storage.
- Pairing Suggestions: Enjoy these biscuits with a dollop of whipped cream or your favorite jam for a delicious treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
