Orange Syrup

I'm almost seven months pregnant (with our 3rd child --and second boy). Ever since I got pregnant, the one consistent thing I have craved is orange juice. This is especially strange for me, but I just can't get enough. After making the BEST buttermilk pancakes... ever, I decided that they would taste lovely with some orange syrup. This syrup is SUPER easy too make and super versatile for pancakes or a bundt cake. I hope you like it!

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cube butter
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate

Directions:
Put all ingredients into a saucepan over medium low.

Bring all ingredients to a boil, stirring constantly. Cool slightly and serve over pancakes, sweet bread, poppyseed cake or whatever you like.

Pour remaining syrup in a container and keep in the fridge until you're ready to use it again.... which will be soon because this stuff is GOOD!

Orange Rolls

from Tami L.

These are sooooooooooo good. My neighbor makes them and they're the BEST!

2 cups warm water
2/3 cup dry milk
2 Tbsp yeast
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter, shortening, or margarine
1 egg
5 to 5 1/2 cups flour

Icing:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbsp orange juice (squeezed from oranges)
2-4 Tbsp heavy cream

Mix 1/4 cup of the water with yeast and about 1/2 Tbsp of the sugar in a small glass -let yeast dissolve.
In mixing bowl, combine remaining water, dry milk, remaining sugar, salt, butter (or shortening), egg, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until wet, then slowly add the rest of the flour; enough so the dough is soft, not overly sticky, and not stiff. Let rise about 20 minutes.

Roll dough into rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Brush with orange butter:
1/2 cup butter
rest of 2 oranges
1/4 cup sugar

With pizza cutter, cut 3 1/2 inch strips on long side of rectangle. Starting at short side of rectangle, cut 2 inch strips of dough. Roll up strips and place on greased cookie sheet. Rise until double in size. Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool 10 to 15 minutes and then drizzle icing over top.
