Ingredients:

  • 2 cups pumpkin or butternut squash puree (see method for pureeing butternut recipe #194908)
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon clove
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Cooking Time:

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, brown sugar, and spices until well combined.
    • Stir in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

    • In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin or butternut squash puree, softened butter, and buttermilk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Adjust Consistency:

    • If the dough seems too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a splash of buttermilk. The goal is to achieve a soft dough that holds together well.
  5. Shape the Dough:

    • Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface and shape it into a ball. Knead lightly to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
  6. Roll and Cut:

    • Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out individual biscuits. Gather and reroll any scraps until all the dough is used.
  7. Bake:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Place the cut biscuits onto a greased baking pan, leaving a little space between each one.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once baked to perfection, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
    • These biscuits are best enjoyed warm, either on their own or with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey.

Recipe Yield:

  • Makes approximately 30-40 biscuits, depending on the size of your cutter.

Tips:

  • For a twist, consider using sweet potato puree instead of butternut squash or pumpkin.
  • When mixing the wet and dry ingredients, avoid overmixing to ensure tender, fluffy biscuits.
  • These biscuits make a wonderful homemade gift. Package them in a basket for a thoughtful housewarming or holiday present.

Indulge in the warm, spicy flavors of these Butternut Squash or Pumpkin Biscuits with Pecans. Perfect for any occasion, these biscuits are sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy the cozy aroma and irresistible taste of homemade goodness with every bite! 🎃🍂
