Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat to about 1-inch thickness, and cut out biscuits.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Using cold butter is crucial for achieving flaky biscuits. Be gentle when mixing to avoid tough biscuits. Adjust spice amounts to suit your taste.
