Orange Cinnamon Rolls will defiantly be on our Easter brunch menu this year and are always a favorite for Christmas morning. The best part is waking up in the morning to an Orange Cinnamon Roll and cup of coffee to help get the day started. Once the rolls have risen, pour the heavy cream over the top of the rolls, allowing it to soak down in and around the rolls. Prepare Filling: Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon; set aside.

Steps to make Citrusy Cinnamon Rolls:
  1. Mix 3 tablespoons of flour with 1/2 cup of water. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until it forms a thick paste. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan add milk and butter. Let warm until butter melts. Remove from heat and let mixture cool.
  3. Whisk together remaining flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl
  4. Add beaten eggs, flour paste, and cooled milk/butter mixture to the mixture of dry ingredients until a ball of dough is formed. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes or until smooth. Add flour to the surface if the dough is too sticky.
  5. Spray mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Place dough ball in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rise until doubled in size, or for about an hour.
  6. Filling - Stir together brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange zest, and butter
  7. Place risen dough onto floured surface and roll into a rectangle. Spread filling evenly to the edges of the dough. Roll dough into a log and cut into 12 2-inch pieces. Place rolls in a 13x9 greased baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let rolls rise until they are puffy (about 1 hour)
  8. Preheat oven to 375F. Uncover rolls and bake until golden (25-30 minutes). Let cool for 5 minutes.
  9. Icing - Cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add vanilla and lemon zest. Slowly stir in powdered sugar.
  10. Generously spread icing onto warm rolls. Serve warm and ENJOY!

Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly. After you let the dough rise in a greased covered bowl until it is double in size, you're ready to roll the cinnamon rolls. Use a pastry mat sprinkled with flour to keep the dough from sticking. Remember…the dough will be tacky and this is the point where it is ok to add flour on the pastry mat and on top of the dough itself for easy rolling. Each cinnamon roll is extra soft with the most delicious cinnamon swirl!
