A Thanksgiving Breakfast
incorporated into the
dough is part of the key
to the great taste and
moistness of this recipe.
think about it: breakfast gets left out of holiday
feasts, while our lunches and dinners are filled with a
smorgasbord of Thanksgiving favorites. I know, turkey and mashed potatoes for breakfast? No thanks.
But this year, I do want to start off my Thanksgiving
morning with at least one flavor of the holiday season:
pumpkin!
I read a description of pumpkin cinnamon rolls to
my friend Liz and we both practically started drooling.
That was my cue to go home and test the recipe right
away. I was intimidated at first about making my own
dough, but the recipe I found doesn't call for yeast, a
fear I have yet to conquer. Maybe one day...
Anyway, canned pumpkin incorporated into the
dough gives these rolls the holiday flavor - and color
- I was looking for. The dough was easy to roll out; I
filled it with brown sugar and cinnamon, formed it
into a log and cut it into the spirally cinnamon roll
shape we all know and love. My kitchen smelled just
like pumpkin pie as these babies baked! Topped with
a cream cheese icing, my pumpkin cinnamon rolls
are the perfect Thanksgiving breakfast. Bet you can't
eat just one, but I would recommend trying to resist
to save room for the turkey!
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Canned pumpkin
For the icing:
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
Sift together dry ingredients. Cut butter into flour,
working it into pea-sized pieces. Add pumpkin and
milk.
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a ½-inch
rectangle. Sprinkle with mixture of brown sugar and
cinnamon. Roll dough into a log; cut into 1- to 2-inch
slices.
Place each roll on a buttered pie plate or cake pan.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
While rolls cook, mix cream cheese and powdered
sugar with an electric mixer. Spread icing over rolls
while still warm.
Yield: 12 rolls
Adapted from Ally's Sweet and Savory Eats
For the rolls:
2 ¼ cup flour (add more, one tablespoon at a time, if
dough is too sticky)
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 Tbl. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
¼ cup cold butter
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup cold milk
For the filling:
¾ cup brown sugar
2 Tbl. cinnamon
