Sour Cream Orange Rolls

Hi friends!  It’s Amy J. with one last BEST EVER sweet roll recipe.  These are my mother’s Sour Cream Orange Sweet Rolls.  These orange rolls are
deadly delish!  Hence the reason we make
them only a few times a year.  Every
October and April, our church holds a world-wide general conference…our
favorite weekends of the year!  Several
traditions swirl around our house during these general conference weekends….but…
the MOST POPULAR…THE ALL-TIME FAVORITE…are these Sour Cream Orange Rolls and our Caramel Bottom Cinnamon Rolls.  And yes, we make both flavors.  Please understand, making two different types
of sweet rolls takes extra effort.  In
the past we have tried to name one or the other the all time favorite sweet roll, but we have come to an
impasse.  We simply cannot decide between
the two…so WE MAKE BOTH!  Here’s the recipe so you can make them too.
