Ingredients
- 1 rolls frozen, bake and serve, dozen
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2-3 lemon zested and juiced, plural
- ¼ cup butter REAL® Seal brand, 1 tablespoon
- 1 cup powdered 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.

- 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.
