Lime Icing:

Instructions
 

  • Mix yeast, sugar, and water in a large bowl. Let sit for five minutes.
  • Beat in milk, eggs, sugar, oil, salt, and vanilla. Stir in flour a cup at a time, adding enough to get a soft dough.

  • Cover with waxed paper and let rise till doubled, about 45-60 minutes.
  • Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes or till lightly browned.
  • Combine icing ingredients, adding enough lime juice to make a thin icing. Spread over warm rolls.
