recipe tips
Make sure the butter is cold for flakier biscuits.
Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs for the right texture.
Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the biscuits onto the baking sheet for uniform size.
Serve the biscuits warm for the best flavor.
Remember, the key to great biscuits is minimal handling of the dough.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
