Ingredients  

For the Biscuits

  • 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 tbsp Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, Frozen
  • 3/4 cup Full Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1-2 tbsp Cold Milk

For the Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter, Melted
  • 1 pinch Salt

Equipment

  • blender
  • box grater
  • round biscuit cutter

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Blend the cottage cheese and pumpkin puree until completely smooth, then refrigerate while you prepare the dry ingredients.
  • Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl, breaking up any brown sugar lumps. Grate the frozen butter into the bowl on the large holes of a box grater and toss to coat.
  • Pour the pumpkin cottage cheese mixture over the flour and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time only if dry flour remains at the bottom.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold it into thirds, turn it 90 degrees and pat it out again.
    Repeat the folding 2 more times, then pat the dough to an even 1 inch thickness. The folds give these soft pumpkin biscuits flaky, pull-apart layers.
  • Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, pressing straight down without twisting. Place them on the baking sheet so they just touch and chill for 10 minutes.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, until puffed and golden at the edges. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar, maple syrup, melted butter and salt until smooth. Spoon the maple glaze over the warm biscuits and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
