Time 1h2m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup pecans
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes
¼ cup cold water
¼ cup dark brown sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread pecans on a baking sheet.

  • Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Brush a large rimmed baking sheet with oil.
  • Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Rub butter into the mixture until it reaches a crumbly consistency.
  • Stir water and brown sugar together in a bowl. Blend into crumbly mixture. Stir in pumpkin puree and fold in pecans. Wrap dough in plastic wrap.
  • Chill dough in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 5 pieces and shape into balls. Flatten slightly and place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Tips:

  • Before you start, make sure your butter and cream cheese are cold. This will help the biscuits stay flaky.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more cream cheese.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscuits rise evenly.
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking. This will give them a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion:

These Pumpkin Pecan Biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. The pumpkin puree and pecans add a delicious flavor and texture that makes these biscuits extra special.
