Ingredients:
- 2 pkgs. instant yeast
- 2 cup warm water
- 6 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1/4 cup thawed orange juice
- 36 sugar cubes
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 Tbsp. orange juice
Directions:
Dissolve 2 pkgs. instant yeast in 2 cup warm water. Stir in 3 cup flour. Add 1 egg, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tsp. salt and 1/4 cup shortening. Beat until smooth. Add 3 cup more flour. Let rest, covered, 20 minutes. Knead and shape into buns. Makes about 3 dozen. Using 1/4 cup thawed orange juice, dip sugar cubes in juice until they turn yellow, but don't let them dissolve. Push a sugar cube into the top of each bun. Cover with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator to rise. These may be baked in 3 hours at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or they may be left in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Spread with glaze over top when taken from the oven.
