Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt. Whisk to blend thoroughly.
  2. Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree and buttermilk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and gently fold together until just combined.
  5. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it until no dry patches remain. Shape into a 4x4-inch square.
