--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1 3/4  C             All-Purpose Flour
       1/4  Tsp           Ground Cinnamon
     1      Tsp           Baking Powder
       1/4  Tsp           Baking Soda
       1/4  Tsp           Ground Nutmeg
       1/8  Tsp           Salt
       3/4  C             Canned Pumpkin
     3      Tbsp          Cooking Oil
     2      Tbsp          Brown Sugar
     2      Tsp           Granulated Sugar

The flavor of these biscuit-like rolls will remind you of pumpkin pie.

In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, 
and salt.

In a small mixing bowl combine the pumpkin, oil, and brown sugar. Add 
pumpkin mixture to dry mixture, stirring with a fork until combined. Form 
into a ball.

Line a large baking sheet with foil. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured 
surface. Knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes. Divide dough in half. 
Roll each half to a 10-inch circle. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. To 
shape, begin at the wide end of each wedge and loosely roll toward the 
point. Place point sides down, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking 
sheet. Curve ends of rolls slightly.

Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over crescents. Bake in 
a 400F oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Makes 16 rolls.

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare, bake, and cool rolls. Freeze in a freezer 
container or bag up to 1 month. Wrap frozen rolls in foil and thaw at room 
temperature for 2 hours; reheat in a 375F oven for 3 to 5 minutes.
