Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with a silpat mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Add 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter into the flour mixture and cut in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened pumpkin puree and buttermilk until smooth.
  5. Pour the pumpkin and buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just moistened.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8 to 10 times.
  7. Roll or pat out the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut out shapes with a biscuit cutter.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until golden brown.
  9. Brush each warm biscuit with melted butter before serving.
