ORANGE CINNAMON ROLLS
Posted in response to a request for Orange Cinnamon Rolls, similar to the Pillsbury refrigerated rolls. Recipe is from Betty Crocker's "Breads" cookbook, published in 1974. The first time I try a recipe, I like to write the date beside it. I see that I first made these on May 30, 1977 and my comment was: "VG" ("very good")... (Cooking time includes 2 hrs for letting the dough rise.)

Tips:
- Select high-quality oranges: Choose oranges that are heavy for their size, have smooth, unblemished skin, and a deep orange color.
- Use fresh cinnamon sticks: Fresh cinnamon sticks will provide the best flavor. If using ground cinnamon, use about 1 teaspoon for every 1 cinnamon stick.
- Simmer the oranges and cinnamon sticks for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the oranges to become infused with the cinnamon. Simmer for longer if you want a stronger flavor.
- Add other spices to taste: If you like, you can add other spices to the pot, such as cloves, nutmeg, or ginger.
- Serve the oranges warm or cold: Orange cinnamon sticks can be served warm or cold. They are delicious on their own or served with yogurt, pancakes, or waffles.
Conclusion:
Orange cinnamon sticks are a simple but delicious treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover oranges and are a healthy and refreshing snack or dessert.
