Ingredients
Instructions
- Pierce and cut open the package of Pillsbury rolls.
- Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Spread the rolled-out dough with butter and orange marmalade.
- Roll up the dough and wet the edges to seal them together.
- Slice the roll into pieces and place in a muffin pan.
- Let the rolls rise for 2 hours.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the butter and marmalade mixture. If you don't have Pillsbury rolls, homemade dough can work too, but it may require additional rising time. You can also substitute the orange marmalade with lemon or apricot preserves for a different twist. For an extra touch, sprinkle powdered sugar on top after baking.
Serving Suggestions
These Orange Marmalade Rolls are delightful for breakfast or brunch and pair wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt. Consider serving them alongside a light salad for a refreshing lunch option. They also make a sweet addition to a tea party menu, complementing items like Cream Cheese Pineapple Delight Sandwich Spread or Super Strawberry Shortcake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to restore their soft texture. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, but they may lose some of their crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls up to the point of rising. After placing them in the muffin pan, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking to allow them to rise properly.
What can I use instead of orange marmalade?
If you don't have orange marmalade, you can use other fruit preserves like apricot, peach, or even berry jams. Each fruit will give a different flavor profile, but they will still create delicious rolls. Just ensure the substitute is spreadable and not too chunky.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and have risen nicely. You can also check by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. If the tops are browning too quickly, you can cover them loosely with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
