- Prepare the dough: Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter, then add buttermilk, sugar, and salt. Let cool to warm, sprinkle in yeast, and let rest.
- Add the eggs and vanilla. Gradually mix in 4 cups of flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth.
- Let it rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and allow to double in size (about 1 hour).
- Make the filling: Combine softened butter, pumpkin butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice until smooth.
- Roll it out: Punch down dough, roll it to a rectangle (14 x 24 inches), and spread filling evenly.
- Roll tight and cut into 12 pieces. Place in greased baking pan.
- Second rise: Cover and let rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden.
- Glaze: Melt remaining butter, mix with maple syrup, milk, brown sugar, and powdered sugar until creamy. Drizzle over warm rolls.
