Orange Bow Knots image

Baking is my favorite pastime, and I normally have my freezer well-stocked with breads, muffins and cookies. This recipe for rolls with a refreshing orange flavor has been in the family as long as I can remember. We especially enjoy them for breakfast and brunch.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I made these with lemons instead. They were still delicious!
