Since I'm nice... (And better than Megan Fox), I decided to make cinnamon rolls & pumpkin pie for Aaron and I's respective offices in celebration of Thanksgiving.
For the pie recipe I used a Pumpkin Streusel recipe which I will list later on...
and for the Cinnamon Rolls I used my Grandma Lucreta's recipe (they are the bomb).
For now I will just do photos of the process. I began at 7pm and finished at 11:45p.
Good times.
EDIT***
here is the recipe:
* 1 pie crust, unbaked
* 1 can (16 ounces) pumpkin, or 2 cups puree
* 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
* 2 eggs, beaten
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* .
* Streusel Topping
* 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
* 1/2 cup flour
* 1/4 cup firm butter
* 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional) I DID NOT USE.
Preparation:
Heat oven to 400°, or 375 for glass pie pan
In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, spices, and salt; blend well.
Streusel topping: Combine brown sugar and flour; cut in the butter until crumbly. Set aside.
Pour pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pastry shell. Bake for 15 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Bake for 25 minutes longer. Sprinkle streusel topping over pie. Continue baking at 350° for about 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until golden brown and the filling is set.
