How to Make Spicy Butternut Squash Or Pumpkin Biscuits With Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups pureed butternut squash (see recipe #194908 for instructions), 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 cup buttermilk. Add more buttermilk if needed to create the right dough consistency.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead for 2-3 minutes. If too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time.
  6. Roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or a knife) to cut out biscuits.
  7. Place biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
