These Orange Cinnamon Biscuits make up in no time and they smell so good while baking. The flavor of the orange and cinnamon are a perfect combination.
This is a variation of My New Go-To Cinnamon Biscuits and they are not really like a biscuit at all, but more of an orangy cinnamon roll.

- Place the rounds, with sides just touching, in greased 9" round pan.
