STEP 2 Combine flour, baking soda, salt in a large bowl. Set aside. STEP 3 Thaw 6 tablespoon chunk of butter for a few minutes. Grate butter into dry ingredients, mixing with pastry blender or fork until butter is well coated and mixture resembles a coarse meal. Place in fridge for 10 minutes. STEP 4 Whisk squash puree with buttermilk until smooth. Add buttermilk mixture and chopped sage to the dry mixture and fold until just combined. It should be a rather wet dough. STEP 5 Turn out onto a floured surface and pat until about 1/2-inch thick. Fold dough in thirds and pat again to about 1-inch thick. Cut into rounds, re-patting until all the dough is used. STEP 6 Place biscuits on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until tops are golden brown. STEP 7 Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and scallions; cook, seasoning with salt and pepper, 5 minutes or until mushrooms are soft and browned. STEP 8 Reduce heat to medium low. Push mushrooms to the side of pan. Add 4 tablespoons butter, stirring until melted. Add in flour and stir to combine. Let flour mixture cook for about 3 minutes, until brown and toasted. STEP 9 Slowly stream in chicken stock and stir constantly after each addition. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for another 5-6 minutes. Add in crème fraiche to thicken to your preference. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
