Orange Rolls


1 1/2 Cups scalded milk
1 Stick butter
Heat milk and add in butter to melt.  Put in large bowl and add the rest of the ingredients in order.
1/3 Cup sugar
1 tsp salt
Grated rind of 1 Orange
1/4 Cup squeezed orange juice
2 Eggs
1 1/2 Tbsp or 1 Pkg Yeast
Stir, then add:
5-6 Cups flour to make sticky dough
Mix/knead well.  Cover and let rise for 1 1/2 hours.

Roll into rectangle that is about 1/4 to 1/2 in thick and spread with melted butter.  (May add a bit of white sugar and additional orange zest if desired.)
Cut dough into 1 inch wide strips that are about 8-9 inches long.  Tie each strip into a knot (kind of like at the beginning of tying your shoe!)  and tuck in the ends.
Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and let rise until the indent of your little finger into the dough stays in.

Cook about 10 min at 375 or 400.

Make a simple glaze (between a frosting and a runny glaze) in a 2 cup Measure:
Powdered sugar
Orange juice
soft butter
(more orange zest if desired)
Let rolls cool just a bit before topping with glaze.
