Grandma Vera Jean’s Bow Knot Orange Rolls

These rolls are famous in the Jones family because Granna made them for Thanksgiving and for special occasions. They have been a family favorite for years.

1 1/4 c. scalded milk
1/2 c. Butter or Shortening
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 pkg. Yeast
2 eggs beaten
1/4 c. orange juice
2 T orange peel
4-5 c. flour

Combine milk, butter and sugar and cool to luke warm and soften yeast in the mixture. Add eggs, juice and peel. Beat thoroughly and add flour next. Mix to a soft dough. Cover and let stand for 10 min. Place in greased bowl and let rise in a warm place until dough is double.
Bake on 400 degrees until golden brown for 15-20 min.
Glaze with a mixture of powdered sugar, orange peel, orange juice and a little butter until you get a smooth fairly runny consistency.
