Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 c all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp dried sage
  • 2 tbsp cold butter
  • 3/4 c pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 c Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 10 fresh sage leaves

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 425°F. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and dried sage. Cut in the butter, blending with a fork or pastry blender, or by pulsing in a food processor, until butter is in small, pea-sized pieces.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt. Mix the Greek yogurt/pumpkin mixture into the dried ingredients. You may need to use your hands to get it completely blended.
Knead dough out onto a floured surface 6 or so times. Pat or roll out to a thickness of 0.5 inches. Add flour as needed to keep dough from sticking. Cut out circles of 2-3 inches in diameter {I used a glass}.
Transfer circles to baking sheets, brush the tops with melted butter, and place a sage leaf on each biscuit, brushing again with another layer. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until biscuits are firm to the touch and cooked through.
Cool slightly and serve.
Makes about 10 servings.
