Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into cubes, plus 1 tablespoon melted for brushing
  • 1/4 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and kosher salt. Utilize a fork or a pair of table knives to incorporate the cubed cold butter into the flour mixture, mixing until it reaches a coarse, meal-like consistency.
  2. Step 2: In a separate liquid measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and buttermilk until well blended. Gradually add this mixture to the flour mixture, stirring gently with a fork until just combined, forming a shaggy dough.
  3. Step 3: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently by hand until no dry flour remains visible. Shape the dough into a square measuring approximately 4 inches on each side, then cut it into four equal squares. Brush the tops of these squares with the melted butter.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the squares in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at a temperature of 350°F (175°C), covering with foil for the last three minutes of cooking to prevent excessive browning. Continue cooking until the biscuits are golden and risen, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
