A FALL TRADITION.....MAKIING PUMPKIN ROLLS

I BUY A LARGE 29 OUNCE CAN OF PUMPKIN TO MAKE SEVERAL LOAVES. FIRST I
BEGIN BY BEATING THE EGGS. ADDING CINNAMON, FLOUR; SALT MAKES THE HOUSE SMELL SOOO GOOD. WHILE THE "CAKE" IS COOLING I MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I SPREAD THE CREAM CHEESE ON THE CAKE AND THEN ROLL IT UP AGAIN AND
DUST WITH CONFECTIONERS SUGAR.

I USUALLY CUT IT IN HALF AND SERVE IN

SLICES ON A PRETTY PLATE OR GIVE AWAY A LARGE HALF. THIS TIME I AM FREEZING THEM TO HAVE ON HAND DURING THE HOLIDAY.

PUMPKIN ROLL

3 EGGS SEPARATED ( YOLKS AND WHITES) 1 CUP SUGAR DIVIDED IN HALF 2/3 C SUGAR 3/4 FLOUR 1 t BAKING SODA 1/2 t CINNAMON 1/8 t SALT

FILLING

1 8 OUNCE PACKAGE OF CREAM CHEESE (SOFTENED) 2 T BUTTER 1 C CONFECTIONERS SUGAR 3/4 t VANILLA

DIRECTIONS
LINE A 15 X 10" BAKING SHEET WITH WAXED PAPER ( SPRAY)
IN LARGE BOWL ADD EGG YOLKS . BEAT ON HIGH UNTIL CREAMY. ADD 1/2 C SUGAR THEN IN ANOTHER BOWL...... BEAT EGG WHITES UNTIL FORMS PEAKS AND GRADUALLY ADD 1/2 SUGAR .
COMBINE THE TWO TOGETHER. FOLD IN PUMPKIN. ADD THE DRY INGREDIENTS AND FOLD IN. SPREAD ONTO THE SPRAYED BAKING SHEET. BAKE AT 375 DEGREES FOR 12-15 MINUTES......................

COOL FOR 5 MINUTES.............. DUST A TEA TOWEL WITH CONFECTIONERS SUGAR AND TURN OUT "CAKE" UNTO TOWEL. ........ GENTLY TAKE OFF WAX PAPER.........STARTING AT ONE END USING TOWEL BEGIN TO ROLL UP CAKE WITH TOWEL UNTIL YOU HAVE A ROLL. LET SIT AND COOL. MEANWHILE , MAKE FILLING. MIX SOFTENED CREAM CHEESE AND BUTTER. ADD REST OF INGREDIENTS AND BEAT BY HAND UNTIL SMOOTH. NOW............UNROLL YOUR TOWEL AND CAKE WILL BE FLAT. I SPREAD OUT FROSTING TO THE ENDS. .............THEN GENTLY BEGIN TO ROLL UP YOUR "CAKE" AGAIN AND DUST WITH CONFECTIONERS SUGAR.

DON'T WORRY IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG SUCH AS A BIT OF CRACKING OR FLOUR STICKING. JUST ADD A LITTLE MORE CONFECTIONERS SUGAR TO THE TOP. I USUALLY CUT THEM IN HALF AND WRAP EACH ONE. YOU MAY FREEZE UP TO 3 MONTHS. REMOVE FROM FREEZER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING. I USUALLY MAKE 3-4 ROLLS FROM THIS CAN. ENJOY!
