Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Does that sound good to you?
It did to me.
The recipe reminded me of pumpkin pie and it had great reviews so I was really excited to try it.
It didn't turn out the way I had hoped. I blame it on my cinnamon roll recipe. Since I've been making dough with that recipe, it has raised my expectations. The Pumpkin rolls were dry and heavy. Not light like my cinnamon rolls. The spices were a little strong as well.
Oh well I guess you live and learn. I am going to try to adapt my cinnamon roll recipe to become a pumpkin roll recipe. I think if I modify it in the right way, I won't lose the lightness of the dough but will get the pumpkin pie flavor I was hoping for.
I'll fill you in on how they turn out when I get around to making them. Wish me luck :)
We have a pumpkin cake roll recipe that I make every year. It came from my Mother-in-Law. Really good!! It has a cream cheese/powdered sugar filling. It sounds like the cinnamon rolls would taste kind of like that. We would love to be taste testers for you!!! Always!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen those recipes too but I chose this one because it was suppose to be like a cinnamon roll except the dough was made with pumpkin and evaporated milk like pumpkin pie. The center had pumpkin pie spices - cloves, nutmeg along with cinnamon. It was just so disappointing. Anyway, when I get it to taste better I'll make sure I share.
ReplyDeleteCheck out this pumpkin cinnamon roll recipe. http://www.loveandoliveoil.com/2008/12/pumpkin-cinnamon-rolls.html My friend and her husband were raving about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that recipe. I like that it has to rise twice, mine didn't and I think that might have led to the dough being so heavy. I think I'll stick with my cream cheese frosting for some just cause I really like it.
