Orange Cinnamon Butterflake Rolls

Step 1

Place frozen rolls in a 9x13-inch baking dish so that they aren't touching and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to thaw for 2-3 hours or until soft.

Step 2

Combine two dinner rolls and roll into a ball.

Step 3

Using kitchen scissors, cut five deep slits almost to the bottom of the roll and gently spread the layers slightly.

Step 4

Repeat with remaining rolls.

Step 5

Combine melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix until it appears like wet sand.

Step 6

Using your fingers rub the cinnamon/sugar paste all over the rolls and get inside every slit.

Step 7

Place in a greased muffin tin. Spray plastic wrap with cooking spray and loosely cover rolls to rise until doubled.

Step 8

When the rolls have risen, remove the plastic wrap and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15-16 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully remove rolls from muffin tin as soon as they are finished baking and brush the orange icing over the warm rolls, or lately we've merely rolled the tops in the bowl of icing.

Step 10

Serve warm. For the Icing:

Step 11

Whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice (one tablespoon at a time) and the vanilla. The icing should be very thin. If it's too thick, add a little more orange juice.
