Spicy Butternut Squash Or Pumpkin Biscuits With Pecans Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Combine pumpkin and cream; stir into dry ingredients. Turn onto a floured surface; knead four to six times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. If desired, serve warm with melted butter and cinnamon sugar.

Steps:

• Place pecans on an ungreased baking sheet. Toast at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 to 8 minutes.
• Peel the squash, and remove the seeds. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes. There will be about 6 cups squash.
• Melt butter or margarine in a heavy large skillet over low heat. Add onion and saute until very tender, about 15 minutes. Add squash and toss to coat. Cover. Cook until squash is tender but still holds it shape, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over medium heat before continuing.
• Stir in half of the pecans and half of the parsley. Transfer mixture to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining pecans and parsley. Serve.

Steps:

• Mix chili powder and lemon juice together in small bowl. Place the squash in a very large microwave-safe bowl and pour the spicy lemon juice over it. Toss to coat cubes evenly. Push cubes toward the sides of the bowl so that they cook evenly.
• Cover and microwave on high (100%) for 14 minutes. The squash is done when the tip of a small sharp knife or toothpick slides through a few of the cubes easily. Until done, re-cover and microwave at 2 minute intervals.
• If serving hot, scoop onto plate with a large serving spoon and serve immediately. If serving cold, refrigerate until cool.

Steps:

• Stir together dry ingredients.
• Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add pumpkin and milk, stirring just until ingredients are moistened and a soft dough forms. If the dough seems very soft, add more flour, a few tablespoons at a time, just until the dough is easy to handle.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a half-inch thick.
• Using a 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter in a simple shape of your choice (such as a pumpkin or leaf), dip the cutter into flour, shake off excess and press into biscuit dough.
• Place biscuits on a lightly greased cookie sheet one-inch apart and bake at 450 degrees F for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve hot with butter and honey or apple butter.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut the squash in two at the base of the neck, discarding the hollow bulb end or reserving for another use. Peel the rest and slice into 1/2-inch disks. Toss the squash in a large roasting pan with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, thyme and salt and pepper to taste, and arrange in a single layer. Roast the squash, turning once halfway through, until tender and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, combine garlic and one tablespoon of the remaining olive oil. Sauté until fragrant and tender, about one minute. Add pecans and sugar, and toss until the sugar has melted and the pecans are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Whisk the vinegar into the remaining olive oil. Add the pecan mixture, currants and chili flakes. Mix well, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Arrange the squash on a warm platter and top with some or all of the dressing.

Steps:

• Preheat the over to 425 degrees.
• Sift together the dry ingredients.
• Cut in the butter (or margarine), then stir in the pecans.
• Stir together the cream and pumpkin.
• Fold this mixture into the dry ingredients.
• Be careful not to over mix, just moisten the dry ingredients.
• Knead the dough on a lighly floured surface a few times.
• After rolling out the dough until it is 1/2" thick, use a 2" biscuit cutter.
• Bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• In a large bowl, mix together baking mix, dry milk, sugar and spices. Stir in pumpkin and water just until moistened.
• Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 2 minutes.
• Roll dough on lightly floured surface to about 1/2" thickness. Cut into 12 biscuits with round cutters or a glass.
• Place biscuits on to ungreased baking sheet 2" apart.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450°F Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
• 2. Cut in Parkay with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in currants, if desired.
• 3. Add pumpkin, milk and brandy extract; stir just until blended.
• 4. Place dough on heavily floured surface; knead 30 seconds, or just until dough is no longer sticky. (Do not overwork dough.) Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut into circles with 2-1/2-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, rerolling dough scraps as necessary. Place, 1 inch apart, on ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake 13 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix together cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in a small bowl. Set pumpkin spice mix aside.
• Place butternut squash and onions in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add vegetable broth, cream, and salt; blend until smooth. Add 4 tablespoons of the reserved pumpkin spice mix, and blend until combined. Ladle into 6 microwave-safe soup bowls.
• Cook each serving in the microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir soup and continue to cook and stir, every 30 seconds, until hot. Top each serving with 1 1/2 tablespoons Greek yogurt and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice mix.
