orange zest, about 1⁄2 teaspoon

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. To assemble rolls, follow method for inside out or thick rolls. Use approx. 3 tablespoons of mix per roll topped with cucumber sticks. Makes 4-5 rolls.

Hot Variations

Pecan Pie and Pie Crust

By Angelique -
Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 cup of white sugar 1/2 cup dark Karo syrup 1 stick of butter or margarine (softened) 1 cup pecan halves 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla Beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat again. Add syrup, butter, pecans, salt and vanilla. Mix ingredients together and pour into pie crust. Cook on 350 F for 10 minutes; then reduce temperature to 325 F for 30 minutes. Temperature reduction is to keep crust from burning. Ovens vary in performance and cook times should be adjusted accordingly (I had to cook mine an additional 10 minutes). edited to add: (The pie can look a little buttery until it is cooked completely. Some people have reported having to cook it an additional 20 minutes) Pie is done when center jiggles like jello when you shake the pie. Make sure the pie cools completely before you cut it. Pie crust: 1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs 1/3 cup white sugar 6 tablespoons butter, melted 1/2 te...
