How to Make Orange Buns
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9 or 10-inch tube pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup chilled butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1/4 cup orange juice.
- Gradually drizzle the egg mixture over the crumb mixture, gently tossing with a fork until just moistened. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 30 seconds.
- Roll or pat the dough into an 8-inch square.
- Brush the dough with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
- Mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon grated orange zest. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll up the dough jelly-roll style.
- Cut the roll into 8 slices.
- Place the slices, cut-side down, side-by-side in the prepared tube pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
