Description
Easy lemon rolls are baked together in a skillet to create a sweet dough topped with melted butter, lemon zest sugar, and a tart glaze.
Ingredients
Units
- 12 frozen dinner rolls (thawed but still cold (such as Rhodes))
- zest from 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon butter (melted)
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Set the rolls out to thaw (about 1½ – 2 hours).
- While the rolls are thawing, zest the lemons and mix the zest with the sugar.
- Spray a 12″ cast iron skillet or 9×13″ pan.
- Cut the rolls in half. Pinch the rolls into a small ball and place in the prepared dish evenly.
- Melt the butter and pour over the rolls. Sprinkle half of the lemon sugar mixture over the rolls then cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray.
- Place the rolls in a warm place. Let the rolls rise until double in size (about 2 hours for me).
- Uncover the risen rolls and sprinkle the remaining half of the lemon sugar mixture evenly over the top.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 20-25 minutes (I cooked mine for 23 minutes). While they are baking, whisk the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over rolls and enjoy!
