I was actually searching Zaar to see if this recipe was already posted, because I was going to post it if it wasn't. Even better, now all I have to do is review it. This is such a good sweet bread, I don't know how it's gone so long without any reviews! With the canned biscuits, it's super simple to put together, too. This is a lovely Sunday morning breakfast pastry, or a nice addition to a casual brunch table. The pockets of cream cheese are a nice surprise when you bite into it, and the orange flavor is really refreshing. I haven't made this in such a long time because I had lost the recipe and forgotten about it, but now I'm craving it again. Thanks for posting!
