We enjoy these, and my savory sausage and apple Chelsea Buns, while getting organized at the trailhead of our early Thanksgiving morning hike. I use Paul Virant's pumpkin butter, the recipe for which you can find here in the Genius series. These buns were Inspired by the recipe for “Butterscotch Biscuits” in the 1950 edition of “The Gourmet Cookbook.” If you haven’t the time or inclination to make the orange custard drizzle, make a simple icing with ¾ cups of sieved confectioners’ sugar and 4 teaspoons of fresh orange juice, with a touch of zest added, too, if you have it. They are also excellent as is, especially at the outset of a challenging hike. I hope you enjoy these. ;o)
