Rhodes Lemon or Orange Pull-aparts

Being Relief Society president, I am always looking for ways to make quick and easy yet not too sweet things to take people.  These are great...I  have tried both flavors, both my favorite!


20 Rhodes dinner rolls, thawed

2 lemons or 1 orange peel, grated

¼ c. butter, melted

½ c. sugar

Citrus Glaze:

1 c. powdered sugar

1 Tbsp. butter, melted

2 Tbsp. fresh lemon or orange juice

Thaw rolls until soft (about 2 hours at room temperature). Grate lemon or orange peel and
mix with sugar. Cut thawed rolls in half and place in 9 X 13 inch pan that has been sprayed
with nonstick cooking spray. Melt ¼ cup butter and pour over rolls. Sprinkle with rind/sugar
mixture, reserving ½ of the mixture to sprinkle just before baking. Cover with plastic wrap that
has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Let rise until double in size. Remove wrap and
sprinkle on remaining rind/sugar mixture. Bake at 350 F. for 20 to 25 minutes.
I used two round pans and they cooked more even....then you can give away one and keep one!

To make citrus glaze, combine powdered sugar, citrus juice, and melted butter and mix until
thin. Glaze rolls while still warm.
