SQUASH ROLLS

2 cups store bought baking mix
2/3 cup squash, Hubbard or 2/3 cup butternut squash, cooked and mashed
butter, softened

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450°F
  • Mix the baking mix with the mashed squash thoroughly until you have a soft smooth dough. On a floured surface, roll dough to a 12" circle and spread with soft butter. Using a table knife or pizza cutter, cut into 12 or 16 wedges. Loosely roll up beginning at rounded edges. Place rolls with points underneath about 1" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until a light golden brown. You can also sprinkle butter topped dough with Parmesan cheese before rolling into rolls.
  • I use frozen Butternut squash instead of fresh cooked.
