Orange Knots

12 Rhodes Dinner Rolls, thawed but cold
1 medium orange rind, grated
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted

Citrus Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
3 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix grated orange rind with sugar. Roll each roll into a 9-inch rope. Tie in a loose knot. Roll each knot in melted butter and then in rind/sugar mixture. Place on a large sprayed baking sheet. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let double in size. Remove wrap. Bake at 350* 15-20 minutes. Remove from pan and place on cooling rack. Brush with citrus glaze while still warm.
I tried this recipe and thought it was easy and good. Next time I'll use my own roll recipe and instead of making cinnamon rolls make orange knots. Yum!
