Ingredients:
For the Buns:
- 1 can “Grands” Biscuits – 8 count
- 4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) melted butter
- 1/4 C walnuts or pecans – chopped – optional
- 1/3 C sugar
- 1 large orange – divided into 2 tsp zest & as much juice as you can squeeze out of it
For the Frosting:
- 4 oz cream cheese – softened to room temperature
- 1 C powdered sugar
Directions:
Make the Buns:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Grease a 9″ round cake pan
- Cut 7 of the biscuits in half, leaving 1 uncut
- Start to form a “flower” with the biscuits on the pan – starting with the uncut one for the center, and then continue to place the 14 halves from the center to the edge – making a “flower” look
- Slightly press biscuits into greased pan
- Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter
- Combine 2 tsp orange zest into 1/3 C sugar and if using, stir in nuts
- Pour this mixture over the buttered biscuits
- Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes
Make the Frosting:

- Add the fresh squeezed orange juice until a thick icing forms
- Immediately pour the frosting over the hot buns
