The first time I made these, I didn’t make the scores deep enough. They ended up looking a little more like sea urchins than pumpkins , but hey it is Florida! They still tasted great!

Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen dinner rolls (the type that needs to rise before baking)
  • non-stick cooking spray
  • 1 egg
  • whole pecans
Instructions

Spray baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
Place rolls on pan & cover with plastic wrap. Check instructions on the bag to see how far apart to place rolls.
Let rolls rise for two hours
After the rolls have risen for 2 hours, remove plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, slice seven to eight sections of the roll, leaving the center intact.
press a hole in the center of the roll so that you can insert a "stem" at the end of the baking time. I used a straw. You can also use an ink pen that you have sanitized with alcohol to make the hole
re-cover with plastic wrap and let rise an additional one to two hours
Before baking, make sure the holes is still indented. If not, make a new hole.
pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
To make the egg wash, add 1 T milk or water to one beaten egg.
Use a basting brush to apply the egg wash
bake rolls for 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown
while rolls are baking, cut whole pecans into 3 pieces
once the rolls have finished baking, place on cooling rack and insert "stem"
after the rolls have finished cooling, they are ready to enjoy!
