Well, you know what they say about true love-it conquers all. But apparently it is not as strong as the inside of an orange roll. as my nephew munched on a roll before dinner his wife asked him for a little piece. He hesitate, was reluctant, then said yes. Just as she was taking a bite he could not take it any longer and said "but you can't have the middle!" So there we have it. I did not take pictures of them-regrettably, but they were big and beautiful and lusciously delicious. My mother ate three of them as they came out of the oven and I think every one had at least two at dinner. I made 36 of them and only a few remained. Their smell fills the house and they just look so beautiful you can't help but pop them in your mouth.
The dough is soft and eggy and the filling is orange and sugar and butter. How can you go wrong.
Here is a picutre of the book this recipe came from. This book is 57 years old and as you can see it has been through a lot of baking in its day! It's the ladies circle of Cheyenne Wyoming that put this book out. My mother and i love the recipes from it and use it quite often. You can bet this baby is out of print circulation.
This weekend I will be conducting a "all things Yeast class". Friday and Saturday. I will send an email to those on my list, but if you would like to be added to the list please email me at
innerdd@hotmail.com. I will be sending the flyer out tomorrow. We will feature the orange rolls, the nut roll, Challah bread with Bosc pears and time permitting-Baba au Rum.
