Vivian's Homemade Breakfast Ring!

Every Christmas morning I look forward to making and eating my grandmother's orange rolls. This year was no exception. My mouth waters just thinking about them. Did I mention they also taste good leftover?


Vivian's Orange Breakfast Ring
1 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. grated orange rind
2 (12oz.) cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/3 cup butter or margarine melted
1-3oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. orange juice

Combine sugar and orange rind (sometimes I make a little extra). Separate biscuits: dip each biscuit in butter, and coat with sugar/orange mixture. Stand biscuits on sides, over lapping edges, in a lightly greased 10" tube pan (I used a nonstick molded angel food pan). Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until lightly brown. Invert bread onto a serving platter.
Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar, beating until smooth (Very important! Otherwise when you add the O.J. it will turn out lumpy looking like cottage cheese). Add orange juice, stirring well; spoon mixture over top while ring is hot. Serve warm.

They are worth every calorie! I promise!!!!

  1. Those look scrumptious! Such a nice tradition to remember our grandmother. I didn't have that recipe and am so glad you shared.

    Happy New Year!
