Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour -- about 11 oz
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons cold butter
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup buttermilk
Heat oven to 400F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, soda, salt,
cayenne pepper, and brown sugar. Pulse a few times to blend thoroughly.
If you do this by hand, make sure the brown sugar is broken down and
mixed into the flour mixture thoroughly, or use granulated sugar instead.
Cut the butter in small pieces and lay on the flour mixture. Pulse
about 7 or 8 times, until the butter is well incorporated. Or, work
in with a pastry blender or fingers.
In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and buttermilk.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and pumpkin mixture,
mixing just until moistened.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 3 or 4 times, just until
the dough is smooth. Pat out into a circle about 1/2- to 3/4" thick
and cut out with biscuit cutters.
Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes,
until the bottoms are browned.
Makes 12 to 16 biscuits, depending on size.
