Equipment

  • 8x8 Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring Tools
  • Fine Sieve or Strainer
  • Butter Knife

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin, 100% pure puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 ½ cups Buttermilk, cold
  • 2 ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Baking Powder
  • cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½-1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice or Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cup Salted Butter, melted
  • Orange Food Coloring (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉.

Make The Biscuit Mixture

  • In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and spices. Mix well and set aside.
  • In a large bowl or glass measuring cup, add buttermilk, pumpkin, and vanilla extract. Mix Well.
    Optional Tip: Add in 2-3 drops of orange food coloring for a brighter orange color.
  • Pour the pumpkin buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough is formed or just combined, try not to overmix.

Assemble and Bake

  • Pour the melted butter into an 8x8 baking pan.
  • Scrape the biscuit mixture into the pan with the butter. Spread into an even layer.
  • Score the dough into 9 pieces with a butter knife.
    Tip: Dip the butter knife into the butter for easier slicing.
  • Place into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
    Tip: Use a toothpick to test the doneness; it should come out clean.
  • Remove the biscuits from the oven. Allow them to cool for at least 10-15 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy.
