Lemony Lemon Scrolls
This zesty tangy spin on the cinnamon scroll, complete with lemon cream cheese frosting, will leave you craving more! Lucky they're easy to make!
This recipe originally appears in Merry Christmix and has been a firm favourite as a Christmas breakfast option...but I say, Christmas breakfast comes but once a year and that is far too infrequent to wait to make these, so dammit...here they are showing up in a January posting to the site. GO AND MAKE...they are completely off the charts delish! (If I say so may-self!!)
They are best eaten the day of baking, so if you are a small family, be prepared to eat them all, or invite the neighbours over. Don’t say I didn’t warn you...
Either way, when life hands you lemons, I have got you covered!!
