Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, sugar, and salt.

3. Add the buttermilk mixture, the instant yeast and egg to the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk together.

4. Fit the mixer with a dough hook and add the dry ingredients. Knead on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a warm, damp towel, and let it rise in a draft-free place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

6. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

7. In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter to make the filling.

8. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and spread the filling evenly over the surface.

9. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from one of the long edges.

10. Cut the dough into 1-inch slices and place them in a greased cast iron skillet.

11. Cover the skillet with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.

12. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

13. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and cinnamon together with a hand mixer to make a smooth and spreadable icing.

14. Spread the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls.

15. Serve and enjoy your delicious pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls!
