Preparation Steps

  3. Add the cold, unsalted butter to the dry mixture and cut in until resembling coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
  5. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle about 1-inch thick, then cut out rounds or squares.
