Orange Knots

I love orange knots! They are sweet, gooey, and full of flavor. This recipe is from Rhodes (you know, the frozen dough.) You can use thawed Rhodes rolls or, if you want them to be really yummy, use the Lion House roll recipe. I use the Lion House recipe and make half (15) for Orange Knots and the other half to make dinner rolls. Good luck and enjoy!

ORANGE KNOTS

12-15 dinner rolls (If frozen, thawed but still cold.)
