Every month we have a missionary meeting that includes a potluck breakfast, so I'm always on the lookout for good ideas so as to not tarnish my reputation that I seem to have acquired there.
Part of the problem, however, is that it hast to be something I can put together quickly because the meeting starts at 8:00 and I don't like getting up any earlier than I absolutely have to, so speed is essential for my food offering.
This isn't the best picture in the world because it was taken in the car just before we entered the building for our meeting. But since I'm told I can't post a recipe without a picture, it will have to do. These kept my reputation intact. They go by the name of
Cranberry Orange-Glazed Cinnamon Rolls over at
Pillsbury.com, but I think they should just go by the name of Cheater Orange Rolls. The picture shows the recipe doubled and baked in a 9x13 rather than a 9-inch round pan.
Cheater Orange Rolls
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (gross. I used pecans. I can deal with pecans. Walnuts are just wrong)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (known to the rest of the world as Craisins)
2 T butter, melted
2 T honey
2 tsp orange juice
1 can (13.9 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated orange-flavor sweet rolls with icing
Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix all ingredients except rolls and icing. Spread in ungreased 9-inch round cake pan.
Separate dough into 8 rolls; set icing aside. Place 1 roll in center of pan and remaining rolls around center roll.
Bake 24-27 minutes (watch that timing- mine was done at 20 minutes) or until deep golden brown. After removing pan from oven, immediately invert onto a heat-proof serving plate. Cool for five minutes.
Remove cover from icing; microwave on 50% power for 5-10 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle over rolls. Serve warm.
