Pumpkin Biscuits


Serves: 12
Total Calories: 127

Ingredients

2 to 3 tablespoons green shelled pumpkin seeds
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup canned unsweetened solid-pack pumpkin
1/4 cup cold whole milk

Directions:

1. In a small dry skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds, tossing, until they start popping in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and reserve.

2. Preheat the oven to 425°. In a food processor put the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the cold butter and process to resemble crumbs.

3. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the pumpkin and milk. Mix just until the ingredients come together. Using your hands, gather the dough into a ball and place on a lightly floured work surface. Knead gently 8 to 10 turns until the dough holds together.

4. Pat the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle about 6 × 8 inches. Cut into 12 2-inch squares. Top the biscuits with toasted pumpkin seeds, pushing them well into the dough, or they will fall out after baking. Arrange the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
