If you have ever tried my Pecan Twist recipe, then you will love the pumpkin version of it. If you haven’t tried it yet, then you should! It is delicious and so much easier than making Cinnamon Rolls. I love pumpkin baking season, and this will be added to my list of things to make every fall. This recipe is light and fluffy and biscuit-like. It is filled with a buttery cinnamon-pecan filling and topped with Cream Cheese icing. These take a fraction of the time of cinnamon rolls. You can make this recipe for breakfast or brunch and everyone will want the recipe. I hope you love this recipe as much as we do!
Ingredients:
Dough
5 c. Flour
¼ c. Brown Sugar
2 Tbl. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
1 c. Salted Butter
15 oz. can Pumpkin
2 Eggs
½ c. Buttermilk
Filling
6 Tbl. Melted Butter
½ c. Chopped Pecans
½ c. Brown Sugar
½ c. White Sugar
1 Tbl. Cinnamon
Icing
¼ c. Salted Butter
4 oz. Cream Cheese
2 tsp. Vanilla
2 Tbl. Milk
2 c. Powdered Sugar
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. In a mixer combine the Flour, Brown Sugar, Baking Powder, and the Salt.
3. Add the Butter and mix it until your flour mixture is crumbly. Add the Pumpkin, Eggs, and the Buttermilk. Mix it until it is mixed well.
4. Knead the dough in flour until it forms a ball that can be rolled out.
5. Flour you surface and roll the dough into an oval. The dough should be about a quarter inch thick when it is rolled out.
6. Melt 6 Tbl. Butter and spread the butter over half the rolled-out dough. Make your Cinnamon Sugar mixture by combining in a small bowl the Brown Sugar, White Sugar, Cinnamon, and the Pecans. Stir together, then sprinkle over half of the buttered half of the rolled-out dough.
7. Fold the dough over the top of the cinnamon sugar. See the picture for an example.
8. With a pizza cutter or a knife, cut the dough into strips that are about 2 inches wide. Then twist each strip of dough and place it on a greased baking sheet.
9. Bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
10. While it is baking you can make your icing. Combine the Butter, Cream Cheese, Vanilla, Milk, and the Powdered Sugar. Mix this with a mixer until it is smooth and creamy. When the pecan twist comes out of the oven, spread the icing over the top while it is hot.
11. Serve it warm or cold. Enjoy!
