Lemon Pull-Aparts

| 15 Comments

I shared this recipe over at Craftaholics Anonymous last month, but I wanted to post it here as well in case you missed it. Looking at the photo of these lemon pull-aparts makes me want to bake up another batch. They are sooo yummy!

I love the taste of lemon, especially during the hot summer months.  These lemon rolls start with frozen dough, so they are super simple to make. But don't tell anyone, and they will never know. They look and taste like you slaved in a hot kitchen for hours. The lemon zest is what gives them amazing flavor, so don't leave it out.  These would be perfect for a summer brunch, or at a baby or bridal shower. They look just as good as they taste!

  12. These look so yummy. However the directions to prepare them are kinda fuzzy. I wasn't sure which way to cut the roll and how long it usually takes for them to rise. So I just winged it and they are in the oven now. Can't wait to taste them.

  13. Greetings, it took me a year and a day to find this blog! I saw this recipe on Pinterest, and re-pinned, but with the way they have revamped it now, I couldn't find where to locate your recipe. But I'm glad I found you, and thank you for sharing! This looks delicious and I am looking forward to trying it one day.
    Best,
    Gloria
