Lemon-Drop Dinner Rolls image

My family loves these rolls with Christmas dinner. Their lemony flavor is a nice accompaniment to turkey and all the trimmings- or to my husband's favorite main course, beef roast. Using frozen bread dough helps save time during the holiday rush!

Yield 1 to 1-1/2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 loaf (1 pound) frozen white or sweet bread dough, thawed
1/4 cup sugar
4-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Divide dough into 12-18 pieces; shape into balls. In a small bowl, combine sugar, lemon zest and nutmeg. Dip tops of rolls into butter, then into sugar mixture. Place in greased muffin cups, sugar side up. Cut a 1/2-in.-deep cross on tops of rolls. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
