Biscuit Dough

Instructions

1

Preheat and prepare

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Using parchment paper prevents sticking and ensures even baking.

2

Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and brown sugar.

3

Cut in butter

Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pro tip: Ensure the butter remains cold for flaky biscuits.

4

Combine wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree and buttermilk until smooth.

5

Form the dough

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pro tip: Overmixing can result in dense biscuits.

6

Shape and chill

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into 12 biscuits using a round cutter. Chill the biscuits in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Chilling helps the biscuits hold their shape during baking.

7

Bake the biscuits

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Pro tip: Check for a golden brown colour as an indicator of doneness.
