Brighten your day with these fluffy Lemon Sweet Rolls, perfect for brunch or a delightful treat any time! 🍋✨
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for glaze)
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. This is the foundation of your sweet rolls!
- Warm the milk in a saucepan—just until it’s cozy, not boiling! Stir in the melted butter, then add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Pour this delightful mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. It’s the perfect way to get out any frustrations!
- Place your lovely dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until it’s doubled in size. Patience, my friend!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). The anticipation is real!
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Slice it into rolls and tuck them into a greased baking dish. Make them cozy!
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until they’re golden and your kitchen smells heavenly.
- For the finishing touch, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle this zesty glaze over your warm rolls just before serving. Enjoy the burst of flavor!
