I was originally planning on making a sweet potato biscuit recipe I found in an old Amish Cookbook, but decided last-minute to use up some of my canned pumpkin puree instead. I ended up doubling the amount of flour from the original recipe because apparently canned pumpkin has a much high water content than sweet potato?
Anyway, the biscuits turned out really good. This is my first time trying a biscuit made with pumpkin and they definitely have an interesting flavor. They’re slightly sweet and pumpkin-y with the texture of a regular biscuit. They’re even better topped with butter, cinnamon and honey. These would be perfect for a fall brunch or breakfast. Enjoy!
