The Club Orange Rolls

The "K"'s Note:

Out of this world yeast roll with an orange glaze from The Club, Birmingham, Alabama. The recipe came from The Year of Alabama Food, www.touralabama.com If you want to win friends and influence people, serve these rolls. If you over bake the rolls the sugar/coconut/orange rind mixture will burn. Substitute plain fat free yogurt for the sour cream to reduce the fat content. Either way, this roll that will melt in your mouth.

After the recommended baking time, the rolls were still raw/gooey in the center. I put the oven temp. up to 300 and watched them like a hawk, until they tested done, with minimal browning--probably another 7-10 min.
