Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F.

Dissolve yeast in warm water.
In large bowl stir together 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup butter, egg, and salt.
Stir in yeast mixture; gradually add flour until soft dough forms.

On lightly floured surface, knead dough for 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
Place in greased bowl; let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Meanwhile, stir together filling ingredients.
Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 12-inch circle.
Brush dough with filling mixture.

Cut dough into 12 wedges. Roll up, starting at the wide end to form crescents.
Place on baking sheets; let rise for about 30 minutes.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Stir together glaze ingredients; drizzle warm crescents with glaze.
