Lucky Lime Rolls
These Lucky Lime Rolls are delicious any day but, perfectly Lucky for St. Patrick's Day.
Ingredients
- 8 Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls thawed but still cold
- zest of one lime
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter melted
Green Frosting Dip
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- juice from 1/2 of a lime
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- green food coloring
- milk if needed
Instructions
-
Using one roll, cut off a small piece of dough for the stem and press the rest of the roll into a 4-inch circle.
-
Make 3 leaves by cutting the circle almost all the way through, into thirds like a pizza, leaving the pieces attached in the center.
-
Clip each leaf at the top to make a dip in the top of the leaf.
-
Combine zest and sugar in a bowl. Dip the cut and clipped circle, carefully in the melted butter and then into the sugar mixture.
-
Place on a sprayed baking sheet, separating the leaves so they don't touch. Roll the cut off piece into a stem and dip it in butter and sugar mixture and place under the center of the shamrock. Repeat process with remaining rolls.
-
Cover with plastic wrap and let rise about 45 minutes. Bake at 350°F 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with green frosting dip if desired.
-
To make green frosting dip, combine all ingredients except milk and mix well. Add milk to make the right consistency for dipping.
