Orange rolls recipe
First mix up the dough by adding 3 tablespoons butter to 1 cup scalded and cooled milk. Next add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons yeast, 1 cup sugar, 3 eggs, and 1 cup flour. Let rise for 45 minutes.
Add 3 more cups flour and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles again, about 1 hour.
Stir down and let it rise another 2-3 hours in a warm place.
Orange sweet rolls
Roll out dough on a floured surface until it is very thin measuring about 12 x 16″. Spread with a thin layer of softened butter, sprinkle with sugar and orange peel you grated from 2 oranges.
Homemade orange rolls
Roll tightly so there will be many layers of dough. Cut in 1″ pieces and place in muffin tin.
