    Everyone loved these. The dough was very easy to roll out. I made the dough exactly as written and they were wonderful. I found that when I cut them some of the cinnamon mixture fell out, so next time I will probably mix the cinnamon with the softened butter and sugar and then spread it on the dough. I ran out of orange zest for the glaze so I added a little orange extract. Thanks for a great recipe.

    Wow, these were delicious Marg! I had these made in no time and they smelled so good while they were baking. The recipe was super easy to prepare and the flavor of the orange and cinnamon was a perfect combination. These were not really like a biscuit, but more of an orangy cinnamon roll. I used milk in the glaze as I didn't have any orange juice on hand and it was a lovely addition to the rolls. I want to try the orange juice when I make these again. Since the entire recipe came together so quickly, this will be perfect to make for breakfast on hectic mornings. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
