How to Make Lost City Orange Honey Buns

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the orange zest and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the orange juice and honey.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, orange juice, and butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the glaze is smooth.
  8. Once the buns are baked, immediately pour the glaze over the warm buns.
  9. Let the buns cool slightly in the pan before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
