I saw this recipe and HAD to try these delicious looking rolls. I am known for my cinnamon rolls so a friend forwarded the recipe to me knowing I'd love to try this variation. The recipe was very easy and the dough was simple to work with. I loved the ingredient list which sounded like a true winner. While the rolls were certainly delicious (sweet, tender, moist), I didn't get enough pumpkin flavor from the rolls. It was almost as though they needed "pumpkin extract" to bring out the pumpkin flavor. My family enjoyed them but also agreed that the pumpkin-ness didn't shine through. Too bad.
Too bad there's no "pumpkin extract" out there, eh, Lucy? The flavor of pumpkin is indeed elusive; and many folks mistake certain spices for pumpkin. Maybe ramping up the spices a bit would help? PJH
