Pumpkin Roll

It's Friday and time for another Pumpkin recipe as we work our way towards Thanksgiving.  Yesterday evening I made 2 pumpkin rolls and 1 pumpkin bread and my house sure smelled good with the aroma of pumpkin and spice in the air. 

If you have never made a pumpkin roll and feel a bit intimidated to try it, don't be.  It really is pretty simple to do. 


 
Pumpkin Roll
3 eggs beaten well
1 cup sugar
1 cup pumpkin
1 Tblsp. cinnamon
1 Tblsp. lemon juice
3/4 cup self rising flour
 
Blend all ingredients together.
Spread ingredients on cookie sheet - see directions below.
 
How to Prepare Cookie Sheet
lightly spray with cooking oil spray
cover with wax paper - leaving "handles" on each end about a couple inches
lightly spray wax paper with cooking oil spray
 
After you have spread your pumpkin batter onto wax paper lined cookie sheet,
Bake 15 - 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
When finished baking you will flip the pumpkin roll out onto a dish towl that has been covered with confectioners sugar - using your wax paper "handles". 
Peel wax paper off and roll up in dish towl while hot.
Allow to cool completely then unroll, add icing and roll back up.
Thats it!  Your done!
 
Icing
2 Tblsp. soft butter
8 oz. block of softened cream cheese
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar

  5. My husband was guest preaching at a local church this past Sunday and an older lady surprised him with a pumpkin roll as a gift. We love pumpkin rolls, but they always seemed difficult to make to me. I'm definitely going to try this recipe. Thank you! Blessings, Gin
