Belle Oaks Inn Pecan Orange Bread


Another goodie  from a foodie site I belong to and I must say this
recipe is a winner.  I have made it numerous times and everyone loves it!

Ingredients

1 can(s) pillsbury grands 8 ct. buttermilk biscuits
1 can(s) pillsbury grands 5 ct. buttermilk biscuits
1 c sugar
1 stk unsalted butter, melted
2 sm oranges
1/2 c confectioner's sugar
1/2 c pecans, chopped
1 pkg cream cheese
                                                          orange extract (dash)


Directions

1
Spray a large bundt pan liberally with non-stick spray. Set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2
Pour sugar into small bowl. Zest both oranges and add to sugar. Mix to combine. Reserve oranges to juice for glaze.
3
Melt butter. Pour a small amount of butter into the bundt pan and spread 1/2 the pecans in the bottom.
4
Open the cans of biscuits. Taking one biscuit at a time, open each biscuit and insert 1 tsp. of cream cheese into the center. Press to seal. Dip the biscuit in butter and then dip in sugar-orange zest mixture, coating entire biscuit. Stand biscuit in bundt pan on its side. Repeat with remaining biscuits, creating a circle around the bundt pan.
5
Pour remaining butter over the biscuits and sprinkle remaining pecans on top.
6
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed and golden.
7
Remove from oven and turn bread out from bundt pan onto desired serving platter.
8
Mix confectioner's sugar with the juice from the oranges to create a glaze. You may add a dash of orange extract if desired to intensify the orange flavor. Use as much juice as needed to create a glaze consistency you like. Drizzle glaze over bread while still warm.
9
Best when served warm, but can also be served at room temperature. Reheat in microwave for 30 seconds if desired.
