- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 3 1/2 cups flour

Recipe method
- Stir yeast into warm water. Add 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup sour cream, eggs, 6 tablespoons melted butter, salt and approximately 2 cups flour. Beat well.
- Gradually add enough more flour to make a soft dough that may be kneaded. Knead until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in greased clean bowl. Cover, and allow to rise until double in bulk.
- Knead dough to remove excess air. Divide into 2 parts. On a lightly oiled surface roll each part into a 12-inch circle.
- Brush each circle with 1 tablespoon butter. Combine 1/2 cup sugar with grated rind from 1 orange.
- Sprinkle orange sugar on dough circles. Cut each circle into 12 wedges. Starting at the wide end of each circle roll each wedge into crescent roll.
- Place on greased baking sheet and allow to rise 10-15 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare glaze while rolls are baking. Pour glaze over rolls after removing from oven.
- Glaze:
- Combine 1/2 cup butter with 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons orange juice in sauce pan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
- Pour glaze over roll immediately after removing rolls from oven.
