1 cup canned pumpkin
-
1 cup warm whole milk (110° to 115°)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
-
1/3 cup instant vanilla pudding mix

1/3 cup instant butterscotch pudding mix
-
1 teaspoon salt

8 to 9 cups all-purpose flour

FILLING:
-
1/4 cup butter, melted
-
1 cup packed brown sugar
-
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
-
ICING:
-
3 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the eggs, shortening, pumpkin, milk, sugars, pudding mixes, salt and 6 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).

2.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
3.
Punch dough down; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 12x8-in. rectangle; brush with butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges.
-
4.
Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal. Cut each into 12 slices. Place cut side down in 2 greased 13x9-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
-
5.
Bake at 350° until golden brown, 22-28 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the water, butter and cinnamon. Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla; beat until smooth. Spread over buns. Serve warm.
