Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls w/ Butterscotch Candy Corn icing.

So it is the fall season. I'm in the mood for baking, cooking and hot cocoa. I've been busy in the kitchen and finally catching up on all my blogging. Yet again I don't have my camera still. I will find it soon though. Also I don't have a stand mixer so all the mixing that goes into my doughs and my mixtures are all mixed by hand so. Anyways so I have a recipe for cinnamon rolls below. I don't get to make a lot of pies but I do love pumpkin pie. So I decided that I would make my own pumpkin cinnamon rolls and they turned out awesome! I made some butterscotch candy corn icing to go with it and will include the recipe for that as well.

Ingredients:

2 packages dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie)
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (you can add more if you like)
4 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar


1) In a large bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. After yeast is dissolved add in can of pumpkin, mix together.

2) Combine the flour, salt, pumpkin pie spice and baking soda. Stir flour mixture into pumpkin mixture, stir until soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 20 times. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together butter and brown sugar and cinnamon.

3) After dough has rested roll dough out into a large rectangle. Spread the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon mixture over the dough. Roll dough up into log and pinch seam to seal. Slice into 1 inch pieces and place cut side up in a lightly greased 10x15 baking pan. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or cover and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

4) Bake for 20-25 minutes or until browned.

Butterscotch Candy Corn Icing:

1) Place items in microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds at a time stirring between each cycle.

2) Once mixture reaches consitancy that you like, spread over pumpkin cinnamon rolls fresh from oven.

Serve pumpkin cinnamon rolls, and enjoy!
