when my sib was little, my mom put pumpkin in everything. puffy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
one thing that stayed a beloved food we've kept all these years as a thanksgiving fave was pumpkin crescent rolls.
1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1/2 cup shortening butter is great
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Stir in the pumpkin, shortening, sugar, egg, salt, and 3 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn greased side of dough up. Cover. Let rise in a warm place until double, about one hour. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
Punch down dough. Divide it into 3 equal parts. Roll each part into a 12 inch circle on a floured surface. Spread margarine on circle. Cut into twelve wedges. Roll up the wedges tightly, starting at the rounded edges. Place rolls on a greased cookie sheet with points down. Curve slightly. Let rise until double, 30-45 minutes.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
originally from a Betty Crocker holiday cookbook. We used butter rather than shortening. forever making 2x and 3x batches they're so fucking good I spend like a month having a carefully rationed hoard of them for breakfast with eggnog every year.
