Pumpkins are a fall favorite for many reasons. We especially like the cooking & health benefits they offer. Did you know that pumpkins are an amazing immunity booster thanks to being high in riboflavin, folate, & vitamin C? Pumpkin seeds are also a tasty & healthy treat. Like many nuts & seeds, they offer a concentrated source of proteins, minerals & vitamins. With all of the great ways to use pumpkins, be sure to enjoy them during their peak season. We hope you enjoy some of our favorite pumpkin recipes this month.
Ingredients
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup plus 1-1/2 tsp. cold butter, divided
3/4 cup pureed pumpkin
1/3 cup buttermilk
In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine pumpkin and buttermilk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll out to 1-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 1 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Melt remaining butter; brush over biscuits. Serve warm. Yield: 6 biscuits.
