Tempt My Tummy….Quick and Zesty Orange Rolls

I pray  you had a good Thanksgiving weekend.  My family sure did. We were lucky enough to stay at Janet’s B&B.  Well, at least, that is what we call it.  Janet is my sister in law’s mom.   Is she a blood relative?  No.  Do we call her Nana Janet and consider her one of our moms? Yes.  Nana Janet is a great cook and baker.  She hosted the big Thanksgiving feast this year and it was wonderful.  The next morning, my husband, daughter, and I woke to Janet making these zesty orange rolls.  Good golly!!  They were wonderful.  And what does any good blogger do when presented with a wonderful recipe?  I began taking pictures as she was making them!  You would not have expected anything less.  Correct?  I apologize for not getting every step.  I had just woken up and the coffee had not yet kicked in.  The only bad thing about this recipe – I won’t ever be able to eat a Pillsbury Orange Roll again without wishing I was eating one of these instead. Just sayin’….

Quick and Zesty Orange Rolls

• 1- 8 count package of Jumbo, butter-flavored canned biscuits, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 large orange, or 2 small oranges

Directions:

1. Grate orange peel.  You will need about 1/2 cup to put on rolls.  Save the orange.
2. Separate canned biscuits.  Take each individual biscuit and form (using a rolling pin or your fingers) into an oval shape approximately 3 inches x 2 inches.
3. Sprinkle about 2 tsp sugar and 2 tsp grated peel evenly over the surface of each flattened biscuit.
4. Roll up biscuit and place in buttered or sprayed muffin tin.  Press each rolled- up biscuit into the tin until the top of each roll is about even with the top of the tin.
5. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Icing:
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
orange juice squeezed from peeled orange

Gradually add orange juice to moisten confectioners’ sugar to icing consistency (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup juice).  Stir sugar and juice until sugar is dissolved in juice.  Spoon or drizzle icing over warm rolls.  Serve warm.
