PUMPKIN ROLLS 
1 pkg. (16 oz.) hot roll mix
1/3 c. warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1 c. canned or cooked, mashed pumpkin
1 egg
2 tbsp. sugar

1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

GLAZE:

1 c. sifted confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. milk
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Dissolve yeast packed from hot roll mix package in warm water; let stand 5 minutes. Combine pumpkin, egg and 2 tablespoons sugar; mix well. Add yeast; stir in flour packet from hot roll mix package to make a stiff dough. Place dough in a well greased bowl, turning to grease top.

Spread with melted butter.

Combine 1/2 cup sugar and pumpkin pie spice; sprinkle over butter. Top with raisin. Beginning at long side, roll up jelly roll fashion; press edges and ends together securely. Cut into 1 inch slices; place rolls, cut side down in a greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Cover; let rise in a warm place (85 degrees) free from drafts, about 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden. Combine glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over warm rolls. Yield: 15 rolls.
