1. Brown 3/4 cup butter in a light saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and nutty, then cool.
2. In a bowl or mixer combine cooled brown butter, starter, pumpkin puree, warmed milk, and sugar until smooth.
3. Add salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 3 cups flour, mixing until a rough dough forms. Add remaining flour until dough is soft and slightly tacky.

6. Place rolls in a greased 9×13 pan, cover, and proof 2–3 hours until puffy. Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes until golden.
7. To make icing, brown 1/4 cup butter, let cool, then whisk with cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Spread over warm rolls.
