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.
