Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 & 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 & 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 5 Tbsp. butter chilled and cut into small pieces {I use salted butter}
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 3 Tbsp. honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender mix on high in an electric mixer until mixture resembles coarse meal. Chill for 10 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk and honey, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Add canned pumpkin.
  5. Add the buttermilk mixture to flour mixture and stir just until moist.
  6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly 4 times. Roll dough into a (1/2-inch-thick) 9 x 5–inch rectangle; dust top of dough with flour.
  7. Fold dough crosswise into thirds (as if folding a piece of paper to fit into an envelope).
  8. Reroll dough into a (1/2-inch-thick) 9 x 5–inch rectangle; dust top of dough with flour.
  9. Fold dough crosswise into thirds; gently roll or pat to a 3/4-inch thickness.
  10. Cut dough with a 1 3/4-inch biscuit cutter to form 14 dough rounds.
  11. Place dough rounds, 1 inch apart, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  12. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden.
  13. Remove from pan and cool 2 minutes on wire racks. Serve warm.
