Equipment

Ingredients
  

Rolls

  • 12 Rhodes dinner rolls thawed but still cold (you can find them in the freezer section)
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 Tbsp butter melted

Glaze:

  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice more or less

Instructions
 

  • Cut rolls in half and place cut side down in a greased 9x13" pan. Drizzle with the melted butter.
  • Mix lemon zest and sugar together in a small bowl. Sprinkle HALF of the lemon sugar mixture over the rolls.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let raise till doubled. Since the dough is still cold, it can take 2-3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Sprinkle remaining lemon sugar mixture on top of the rolls.
  • Bake at 350° for about 20-25 minutes.
  • Whisk together glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle over rolls while still warm.

Notes

  • If you can't find frozen roll dough in your area, you can use homemade dough and it works just fine.
  • If you like lots of icing on your rolls, double the icing recipe.
