Yum Yum!
Smell the citrus? the sugar?
That is about all I can say about this beautiful concotion of homemade bread, fresh grated orange rind with freshly squeezed orange juice and sugar!

Bon Appetit!
This is a really amazing recipe and treat! I was prompted to make these because I had a lot of oranges around the house and sour cream in the fridge but I will definitely be making this over and over.

I was impressed with the outcome. Bakery quality! (and I am not just saying that b/c I made them, it is more like I can't believe I made these!!!)

So if I can make them, you can make them and feel like you just went to an upscale bakery and paid a fortunate for this little piece of sweetness!


Enjoy!
Until next time,
Happy Baking!
