{Recipe} Pumpkin And Cinnamon Scrolls

After our weekend pumpkin haul, I am on the look out for recipes to use up pumpkin. I cut up and roasted 2 large pumpkins on Sunday. I used some to make pumpkin soup, and froze some already roasted for later use.

On Monday Country Boy took the pig to the abattoirs, and I stayed home with the kids. The trip to the abattoir took several hours so I was wanting an activity to do with the kids. Cooking together is always fun, with the added bonus of getting to eat at the end.

So we made pumpkin and cinnamon scrolls. I made the recipe up, though no doubt, there are lots of similar recipes around.

Ingredients
125g butter cubed
3c SR flour
3T sugar
1c mashed pumpkin (you could use baked or boiled pumpkin).
3/4c milk (the amount of milk you need, will depend on how sloppy your pumpkin is. Start with about 1/2 c and slowly add more if you need it).
Filling
60g butter – melted
1c brown sugar
3t cinnamon
Glaze
1c icing sugar
3t maple syrup

Method
1. Use your finger tips to rub the butter into the flour. The flour should look like bread crumbs, be slightly sticky and have no visible butter lumps.
2. Stir in the sugar
3. Add the pumpkin and milk, and mix to form a soft dough (only add enough milk to get the dough right).
4. Lightly knead the dough until smooth (not too long or it will be tough).
5. Roll the dough out to form a long rectangle. The dough should be about 5mm thick.
6. Brush melted butter liberally over the dough.
7. Spread brown sugar over the dough, making sure you go right to the edges.
8. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the top of the brown sugar.
9. Roll the dough into a spiral to form a long thin sausage.
10. Cut the dough into 3cm lengths.
11. Place the cut dough pieces in a greased oven proof dish, so that the spirals are showing. Make sure you leave space between each spiral as they will spread as they cook.
12. Bake at 170*c for about 30 minutes.
13. Mix the icing sugar and maple syrup together in a bowl. You may need to add a teaspoon or 2 of water to get the right consistency.
14. When the scrolls are baked, remove from oven. Allow to stand for 5 minutes then drizzle the maple syrup glaze over the top.

Best served warm, but trust me, it won’t last until it is cold!

A lovely, easy Christmas with family, good food, a A lovely, easy Christmas with family, good food, a few presents, an afternoon swim and dinner on the veranda as the sun set. Time to stop and be thankful for the many blessings of the year. I hope you had a lovely Christmas too!
We have been mulling over how to fix up the drivew We have been mulling over how to fix up the driveway and lead up to our house for a while. Currently it’s just a dumping ground for old bits of metal and a big pile of mulch, but C would like to create a turning area and put in a garden. First up though, there’s a huge old stump that needs to go. What better excuse is there to have a fire on Sunday afternoon? C and the kids jumped on the quad bike and trailer, and hauled back a big pile of sticks and logs to help the stump burn. Once the fire was going, marshmallows were found and roasted. No better way to spend time together.
Team work makes the dream work. We were asked rec Team work makes the dream work. 
We were asked recently whether we “make” our kids work on the farm. The answer is of course not. Having said that, all three love to help out whenever they can. They all work hard because they want to; because they take pride in working hard and contributing in a meaningful way to our family life; because they love living on our farm and don’t remember life before we moved here. Whether it be planting trees or doing sheep work or feeding animals, they all want to be involved. As a parent, nothing is better than watching them grow in skill and confidence as they work along side you. We’re so glad that we get to spend time with our three, working together.
We’ve had an unexpected addition to the family ☘️🐑. She is a lot easier to look after than the other family members but she does try to escape her yard and head butt people. Poddy lambs are super cute but they tend to think they are a human. Clover the lamb is sure that Meg is her mum. Can’t think why… 🤔🤣

It’s been a tough few weeks on the farm. We got It’s been a tough few weeks on the farm. We got through shearing without a hitch (thankfully 🙏) but we’ve had a run of the flu followed by Covid run through the family since then. The kids and I have tested positive (this is my second time getting it 🦠) though so far C has managed to avoid it. There has been a lot of lying on the couch feeling pretty ordinary. Han had to reschedule her driving test for a 4th time due to Covid, which is disappointing for her because she wants her freedom and for us because it would be so much more convenient if she could drive herself places. Just to add in to the mix, our hot water system has chosen now as a good time to die so we’re on cold showers until we’re all out of iso. This is not meant to be a whinging post but sometimes life just sucks a bit and it’s good to be real. Fortunately, the sight of the fire going with a stack of wood next to it cheers us up. Things will improve soon. Onwards we go…
