Butternut Squash Sage Biscuits

This Butternut Squash Sage Biscuits recipe is incredibly delicious. The addition of butternut squash puree makes the dough tender and flavorful. Probably one of my favorite recipes for biscuits. Even better the next day with sausage gravy on top. If you have leftover squash puree this is a great recipe to use it up. They are savory, flakey, and so delicious.

I don’t know what it is this year, but my Waltham Butternut Squash has gone bizerk!  I guess I’m not alone since Teri Carstens, who follows Farmgirl Gourmet on Facebook , expressed the same thing!  I must have about 30 of them.  And they are enormous!!  So, I’ve been on the hunt for new and inventive ways to use them up.  

You probably saw the Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese with Brie and Bacon that we had last week.  It was UNBELIEVABLE.  The squash made it so creamy and dreamy.  I’d like a bowl of it right now.  Ok, sorry, I’m back.  Anyway, we had these biscuits the other night and they were fantastic!  Since it makes quite a few, I recommend you make this for breakfast for the next morning –  split it in half and toast, top with a fried egg, thin slices of Fontina or goat cheese, and quickly fried ham slice (or bacon).  Holy YUM!  I hope you’re drooling as badly as I am.
