Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot milk, butter, sugar, pureed pumpkin, salt, and 1/4 cup of the flour. Mix until smooth.
-
In a small separate bowl, stir the active dry yeast into the warm water. Let it stand for 5 minutes until it becomes bubbly and foamy.
-
Add the yeast mixture to the pumpkin mixture and beat vigorously to combine.
-
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it sit in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until the mixture looks light and airy.
-
Gradually stir in the remaining 3 cups of flour, adding it a little at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
-
Knead the dough for about 8 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, until it is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
-
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning it once to coat the top with grease.
-
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
-
Punch the dough down to release air bubbles, then turn it out onto a lightly floured board.
-
Roll the dough out with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
-
Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter or glass to cut out rounds from the dough.
-
Place the biscuit rounds about 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets.
-
Cover the biscuits loosely with a towel and let them rise for 20 minutes, or until they are almost double in size.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
-
Halfway through baking (after 6 minutes), swap the positions of the baking sheets if using more than one to ensure even browning.
-
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
