Directions
Step 1 | |
Grease a 9" cake pan or springform pan with 1 Tbs melted butter, set aside. Preheat oven to 350 | |
Step 2 | |
In a bowl whisk together all filling ingredients, set aside. | |
Step 3 | |
In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt. In another bowl combine buttermilk, butter, orange juice, and orange zest. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until dough forms. Remove dough from bowl and place on a well floured surface. Sprinkle flour lightly over the dough and knead it until smooth and not sticky. If still sticky add a bit more flour. Roll out into a 12x9" rectangle and cover with 4 Tbs melted butter. Sprinkle with filling leaving a small border around the edges, and press into the dough gently. Roll the dough carefully and tightly, starting at the long side. Keep the seam side down and cut into 8 equal rolls. Place into the cake pan and bake for about 25 minutes. Brush the tops with 2 Tbs butter and let rest for 5 minutes. | |
Step 4 | |
Whisk together icing ingredients until smooth. If too thick add more orange juice - you don't want a runny icing or it will soak into the rolls, so keep it fairly thick, but spreadable. Spread or pour over rolls. Add more orange zest if desired. Enjoy! |
