LEMON-DROP DINNER ROLLS

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!

Ingredients

1 loaf (1 pound) frozen white or sweet bread dough, thawed
1/4 cup sugar

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.
