Mix yeast & 1/2 c. warm water - set aside. Mix first six ingredients - add yeast mixture, then melted butter. Cover mixed dough with a towel and place in warm place for 2-3 hours. Knead, let rise again, knead again and then roll dough out in several small circles (or rectangles). Cut triangles into dough and roll up into crescent shapes. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned….about 15 minutes or so.

Combine pumpkin through milk in a large bowl and beat until smooth and lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in warm water and add to the mixture. Add melted butter/shortening and lemon rind and mix well. Add half of the flour and beat until smooth. Add the rest of the flour to make a soft dough. Mix well with hands or a wooden spoon. Dover dough with wax paper and chill overnight in the refrigerator. The next day, shape the dough into 32 equal portions. Put balls into a round cake tin or for cloverleafs, put three balls into a medium-sized greased muffin tins. Brush tops with melted butter. Cover and let rise until double. Bake at 400 degrees 15-20 minutes until browned on top.
