Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk, scalded
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons yeast
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar

Inside

  • 4-6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large oranges rind grated

Instructions

  • Add butter & salt to scalded milk; add eggs and sugar. When lukewarm add yeast. Add only 1 cup flour. Let rise 45 minutes.
  • Add remaining flour & let rise until double in bulk (another hour).
  • Stir down; do not knead; let rise 2-3 hours.
  • Roll out until the dough is very thin on floured surface only adding as much flour as needed to not stick on the surface (it will be big like 12"x16").
  • Spread with softened butter then sprinkle with sugar/orange mixture. Roll up on the 12" side so that there are many, many layers to each roll and cut into small 1” pieces.
  • Bake in muffin pans at 350 for 15 minutes. These will be small, tightly wound, delicious bits of heaven!
