These tender and buttery Pumpkin Biscuits are the perfect fall-inspired side, made with pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt for extra moisture and flavor. Great on their own or paired with soups, stews, or whipped honey butter.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (187g; fluffed, spooned & leveled)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • For the topping:
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture forms small pea-sized crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt until smooth.
  5. Add wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Use hands if needed.
  6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead a few times, then pat into a ¾-inch thick disk.
  7. Use a 2–3 inch round cutter to cut out biscuits and place on prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush tops with melted butter.
  9. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until biscuits are set and lightly golden.
  10. Cool slightly and serve warm.

Notes

  • For added flavor, serve with optional whipped honey butter: Mix 4 tablespoons softened salted butter with 1–2 tablespoons honey and a pinch of sea salt.
  • Don't overwork the dough to ensure light and fluffy biscuits.
  • You can substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
