Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pkg active dry yeast
1/4 c warm water (110*-115*)
1 c warm milk (110*-115*)
1/2 c shortening
2 eggs
1/3 c sugar
1/4 c orange juice
2 Tbsp grated orange peel
1 tsp salt
5-5 1/2 c all-purpose flour
GLAZE
2 c confectioner's sugar
1/4 c water
1 Tbsp orange marmalade
1/2 tsp butter, softened

Steps:

  • 1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, shortening, eggs, sugar, orange juice, orange peel, salt and 3 c. flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • 2. Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 13 pieces. Shape 12 pieces into 12" ropes. Fold each in half; twist to form ears. Place 2" apart on greased baking sheets. Shape remaining dough into 12 balls. Place one on top of the loop of each roll to form a tail; press into dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • 3. Bake at 375* for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Coll on wire racks.
  • 4. In a mixing bowl, combine the glaze ingredients; beat until blended, spread over rolls
