Orange-Filled Honey Buns - Apelsinfyllda honungsbullar

ORANGE-FILLED HONEY BUNS
Apelsinfyllda honungsbullar


Makes approx 30 buns

1 1/4 cup milk
1 3/4 oz fresh yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 lightly whisked eggs
grated peel from 1 orange
3 1/2 oz melted butter or margarine
4 3/4 cups flour

Honey glazing:
1/3 to 1/2 cup honey
5 tablespoons sugar
2 oz butter or margarine

Orange filling:
2 1/2 oz butter or margarine
1/3 cup sugar
grated peel from 2 oranges



Warm the milk to 98F. Crumble the yeast in a bowl and dissolve it in some of the milk. Add remaining milk. Mix in sugar, honey, salt, eggs, orange peel, and fat. Add the flour, little by little. Work the dough until smooth and pliable and no longer sticking to the sides of the bowl. Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes.

Honey glazing: Mix honey, sugar, and butter. Bring to a boil and pour in a roasting pan.

Take up the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Cut in 2 and roll out each part to a rectangular "cake". Spread on the fat, sprinkle with sugar and orange peel, and roll them up. Cut each roll in 15 pieces and put them, cut side up, in the roasting pan with the honey glazing. Cover and let rise for 25 - 30 minutes.

Bake in the middle of the oven at 390F for about 25 minutes. Unmould immediately on a rack to cool. Enjoy!
