PUMPKIN-FILLED CRESCENT ROLLS



Pumpkin-Filled Crescent Rolls image

This is an Old World recipe derived from my grandmother, who didn't use traditional measuring cups. We figured out this recipe, which must date back to 1900 or earlier. Other fillings that work well are cranberry, peanut butter or lemon. -Gary Wanosky, North Ridgeville, Ohio

1 package regular active dry yeast
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

  • Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead a few times. Shape dough into a ball, then flatten. Roll into 15-inch circle. Spread with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Cut into 16 wedges. Roll up each wedge, starting at wide end. On ungreased cookie sheet, place rolls with points underneath and curve slightly. Cover and let rise in warm place 20 to 30 minutes or until double in size.
