Orange Bowknots:

1/4 cup water
1 cup milk, scalded
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
5 - 5-1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour
2 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1/4 cup orange juice
Orange Icing:
blend 1 teaspoon grated orange peel, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 1 cup of confectioners sugar.
Soften yeast in warm water. Combine hot milk, shortening, sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in about 2 cups of the flour. and beat well. Add eggs and mix well. Stir in softened yeast. Add orange peel, juice, and remaining flour (enough to make a soft dough). Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease the surface. Cover dough and let rise in a warm place until double (about 2 hours). Punch down and then cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll dough in 18x10 inch rectangle 1/2 inch thick. Cut strips 10 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Roll each strip back and forth lightly under your fingers; loosely tie in knot. Arrange on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough doubles (about 45 minutes). Bake in hot oven (400F) for 12 minutes.
