Made these last night – very tasty! I couldn’t resist adding a bit of cinnamon… I really enjoyed the flavor with the orange and almonds. I might put some frosting on a few (dad’s request). Thanks for the recipe!

I scrolled down to see these and my mouth started watering, haha. Guess I’ll just have to make them! ;-)

First of all, I hope you’re feeling better! If these are what you do when you’re not feeling well, I can only imagine what you do when you are well. From the looks of your past posts I’ve read, you do amazing things! Love the Holly B’s posts- looking forward to more!

Hope you’re feeling better! Swirls/rolls like this are one of the best things in life. I love how the end of the swirls are sticking out.

I read so many food blogs (you know how that is) that I rarely read a recipe through word-for-word anymore. Not so with this one. I am intensely interested! I love the orange hazelnut swirls at Macrina. These remind me of those–a much better version of cinnamon rolls.

I can’t believe you did this while you were sick! You’re amazing.

I’m starting to realize I’d have a very hard time deciding what to order at Holly B’s. I have lots of weird food tics, but I don’t think any of them are fruit-related. So, these rolls look incredible.

I’ve never heard of milk powder. Can it be substituted with something else?

I love orange flavored things, not so hot about the oranges themselves (unless tangerines, clementines, etc). These look so good!

Hope you’re feeling better. Let me know if you need some non-chicken soup :-)

I’ve been meaning to make a Scandinavian cardamom roll, and now am going to add this to my list of things to try.

The problem is that rolls like this intimidate me. Other than the obvious time it took to let the dough rise, do you have any hints that will encourage those like me, who shy away from recipes like this?
