Ingredients
1dozen frozen bake and serve rolls
¾cupgranulated sugar
2-3lemons, zested and juiced
¼cupplus 1 tablespoon REAL® Seal butter
1cuppowdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray (spray really well) and place the frozen rolls into the tins. Thaw the rolls until softened on the countertop covered with plastic wrap for 1 hour, or, place the rolls in a 200 degree oven for 15 minutes with a pan of hot water.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Melt ¼ cup of the butter and place in a small bowl. Mix the granulated sugar and zest of two lemons in a small bowl.
Cut the softened rolls in half and roll into two balls. Dip each ball into the butter then roll in the sugar and lemon mixture and place two balls into each muffin tin. Repeat with the remaining balls.
Bake for 13-15 minutes.
While the rolls are baking, melt the butter and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the sifted powdered sugar until smooth then raise the heat to high and bring to a boil, whisking continuously.
Glaze the rolls immediately after coming out of the oven. Zest a bit more lemon on top of the rolls. Cool for 1-2 minutes then sse a slender knife to circle around the rolls in each of the tins and transfer to a cooling rack. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
