Pumpkin Cinnamon Buns With Cream Cheese Icing
- 2 Tablespoons Active Dry Yeast
- 1/2 cups Warm Water (110 To 115 Degrees)
- 4 whole Eggs
- 1 cup Shortening
- 1 cup Canned Pumpkin
- 1 cup Warmed Milk (110 To 115 Degrees)
- 1/2 cups Sugar
- 1/2 cups Packed Brown Sugar
- 1/3 cups Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 1/3 cups Instant Butterscotch Pudding Mix
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 8 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1/4 cups Butter, Melted
- 1 cup Packed Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 packages Cream Cheese
- 1/4 cups Margarine
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 cups Icing Sugar
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the eggs, shortening, pumpkin, milk, sugars, pudding mixes, salt, and 6 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough, you may not need all 8 cups of flour (dough will be sticky).
- Turn onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour. I place my bowl in the oven and then place a baking pan with some hot water on the rack beside the bowl. I find this helps the dough to rise nicely.
- Punch dough down, divide in half. Roll each portion into a 12" x 8" rectangle; brush with butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over dough to within 1/2" of the edges.
- Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side, pinch seams to seal. Cut each into 12 slices. Place cut side down in two greased 13" x 9" x 2" baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 22 to 28 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a small mixing bowl beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together until smooth. Add icing sugar gradually, beating until fluffy. Spread over buns, and serve warm.
- Makes 2 dozen buns.
