ORANGE TEA ROLLS
Yields 24
About four hours from start to finish
1. Make the dough
Dissolve together in a small bowl:
2 Tablespoons Yeast
1 Cup Water (room temperature)
2 Tablespoons Sugar
Mix in a different bowl:
3/4 Cup Crisco
2 Tablespoons Sugar
Mix in a different bowl:
3/4 Cup Crisco
4 Beaten Eggs (whisk)
1 Teaspoon Salt
4 Tablespoons Sugar
6 Cups Flour
1 Cup Milk (room temperature)
2. Combine both bowls, knead dough, cover and let rise for two hours
3. Make the filling
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Butter (melted)
4 Tablespoons Orange Zest (about four oranges)
Orange zest |
4. After the dough has risen, roll out about 1/4 inch thick
We made two batches |
Use flour as needed |
5. Spread the filling evenly over the dough
Like you would with sauce on a pizza |
6. Roll the dough into a jelly roll
7. Cut into 1 inch slices using thread
We used floss |
8. Spray Pam on muffin tins and place sliced dough inside
If they don't fit perfectly inside that's okay, they may be a bit differently shaped |
9. Cover dough and let rise in tins for 1 hour
10. Bake in oven at 350 for 15-20 minutes until slightly golden brown-check constantly
Unfortunately I was so excited to eat the Orange Tea Rolls that I forgot to take a picture of the final product. Here is a similar pic I found online.
They are best when eaten warm |
I hope you get a chance to try these and love them as much as my grandma and I do!
