Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using fresh orange juice along with the grated rind.

For an extra touch, drizzle a Lemon Glaze over the warm sticky buns before serving.
Serving Suggestions
These Orange Sticky Buns are delightful on their own but pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. They can also be served alongside a fresh fruit salad or a side of Cheesy Grits And Vegetables for a hearty brunch. For an indulgent twist, top with whipped cream or serve with Chocolate Or Coconut Cream Pie for dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these sticky buns ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sticky buns the night before. Assemble them in the Bundt pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. In the morning, let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking.
What can I do if I don't have a Bundt pan?
If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can use a regular round cake pan or a loaf pan instead. Just ensure to adjust the baking time, checking for doneness a few minutes earlier, as these pans may cook the buns differently.
How can I make these sticky buns more decadent?
To elevate these sticky buns, consider adding nuts like pecans or walnuts between the layers of biscuits for added crunch. You can also incorporate cinnamon or nutmeg into the sugar mixture for a warm spice flavor, enhancing the overall deliciousness.
