Orange Knots

 

Here's a simple, but different treat for breakfast or brunch that takes only 30 minutes, start to finish!
And I think they look so pretty lined up altogether on a serving tray.

Try it! I think you like it!

1 16 oz. can refrigerated biscuits
3 T. butter, melted
2 T. granulated sugar
1 T. orange zest
Glaze:
½ c. powdered sugar
1 T. freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tsp. orange zest

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spread butter on baking sheet.

 Mix granulated sugar 1 T. of orange zest together in a shallow bowl.

Cut each biscuit in half. Roll each biscuit into a rope. Tie each rope in a loose knot. Tuck the ends underneath the knot. Place on  baking sheet.

Brush tops of knots with melted butter. Dip buttered tops in orange sugar mixture.

Bake about 10 minutes. Watch carefully so the sugar doesn’t burn.

While knots are baking make an orange glaze.

 Mix powdered sugar, orange juice and remaining orange zest together.

While knots are still warm brush them with orange glaze.

Let cool for about 2-3 minutes. Serve.

You can store Orange Knots in an airtight container and serve the next day. They are best warmed in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.

THREE INGREDIENT THURSDAY- Pancake Syrup and Cherry Pancakes

Another Two-fer special!

It doesn't get any faster, cheaper or better than this.

For the pancakes, just add a handful of thawed, drained, frozen cherries to your boxed pancake mix (that you only have to add water to!) and cook as directed on box.

For syrup
4 c. sugar
2 c. water (we're not counting the water )
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. maple flavoring

Place sugar and water in a saucepan and boil until mixture clears. Add flavoring and serve warm over pancakes. Can make chocolate syrup by adding cocoa to sugar for flavoring.

Enjoy a delicious breakfast that feels special but is nothing out of the ordinary!
