Orange Knots

Soft orange knots with a sweet citrus glaze are an excellent addition to your brunch or dinner table. Every holiday and sometimes for a special dinner treat I make my families favorite Sweet Dinner Rolls with Honey Butter.

The dinner rolls are always super soft and quite addicting. I was planning on making them for our Easter dinner but I wanted to switch up the recipe a bit. When I stumbled across some orange knots on Sweet Treats and More, I immediately thought of the sweet dinner roll recipe. The orange knot recipe used frozen Rhodes dinner rolls, however, I knew that the sweet dinner roll recipe would be perfect!

I tweaked the recipe a bit and the turned out absolutely incredible! The rolls are quite sweet and you could get away with serving them for brunch as well as dinner.
