Ingredients

1/2 cup Hot milk
2 tablespoon Butter
3 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 cup Pureed pumpkin or winter
1 teaspoon Salt
3 1/4 cups All purpose flour
1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
1/4 cup Warm water

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;Â°F (200ÃÂ°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot milk, butter, sugar, pureed pumpkin, salt, and 1/4 cup of the flour. Mix until smooth.
3
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.
4
Add the yeast mixture to the pumpkin mixture and beat vigorously to combine.
5
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.
6
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.
7
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
8
Knead the dough for about 8 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, until it is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
9
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning it once to coat the top with grease.
10
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.
11
Punch the dough down to release air bubbles, then turn it out onto a lightly floured board.
12
Roll the dough out with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
13
Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter or glass to cut out rounds from the dough.
14
Place the biscuit rounds about 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets.
15
Cover the biscuits loosely with a towel and let them rise for 20 minutes, or until they are almost double in size.
16
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
17
Halfway through baking (after 6 minutes), swap the positions of the baking sheets if using more than one to ensure even browning.
18
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
