Butter Knife
- 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
- ⅓ cup Granulated Sugar
- ½-1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice or Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Salted Butter, melted
- Orange Food Coloring (optional)
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.
