I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of orange, but I'm so glad I did! The orange flavor is very subtle and it pairs perfectly with the cinnamon and sugar.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. It's a perfect way to use up leftover bread. I usually add a little bit of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
