Lemon Pull Aparts-melt in your mouth good!

If you need a quick-looks-like-you-baked-all-day kinda dessert this is for you! I don't think I have ever made something that was so good and was so easy! These were amazing hot from he oven with the drizzled lemon icing on top. You could also make these with different citrus flavors like orange or lime. Orange would be really good. Here is the recipe:

12 Rhodes dinner roles, thawed but still cold
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 C. of sugar
3 Tbs. butter (melted)

Glaze:
1/2 C. powdered sugar
1 Tbs. lemon juice

Cut the rolls in half with scissors and line up in a greased or sprayed 9 X 13 pan. Make three rows of 8. Cover with the butter. Then mix the lemon zest and sugar together. Sprinkle HALF of that over the rolls and cover with a towel to let rise till they double in size. This is a great dessert to make before dinner and let rise while your eating. Keep the oven pre-heating @ 350, and have the rolls on top the stove rising. That way after dinner, you can pop the rolls in the oven for a warm, sweet dessert!

After they rise, they should look like the picture below:


Before baking, sprinkle with the rest of the sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the pan immediately. If you don't, the carmelization  from the butter and sugar will make them stick. ( this is the best part!!!). After you remove them, mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice to create a glaze. Drizzle over and enjoy!!
