These Pumpkin Drop Biscuits are easy, moist, and super delicious, with all the flavors of Fall. Serve for breakfast or as a dinner side!
These Pumpkin Drop Biscuits are reason #37 to always have canned pumpkin puree in your pantry.
I swear we’ve had this conversation before, right? I feel like a pumpkin puree advocate. HA!
Why do people cook with apples all year without even thinking about it, but pumpkin gets relegated to August-October? There’s a reason you can get canned pumpkin puree all year!
Anyway. IF you’re one of those people who only cooks with pumpkin in the Fall, now is your time, my friends. And these drop biscuits need to go on your list.
They’re super easy without any yeast and don’t require rolling or kneading.
I served them for breakfast the other day and Paul and the kids polished them off!
