Breakfast idea: sticky lemon rolls with cream cheese frosting

12 Jul

When it comes to breakfast I always choose savoury over sweet. I don’t *get* how people can eat muffins before noon and call it a meal. After making these ever-so-scrumptious sticky lemon buns with cream cheese frosting I almost understand the idea of a sweet breakfast.

I made these beauties after finding the recipe on TheKitchn website. That place is a treasure trove of amazing recipes that you’ll want to bookmark.

The recipe is here – http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-sticky-lemon-rolls-with-111307

I didn’t change a thing & it worked out perfectly. Too perfectly. I am or may not have eaten 6 of these in one sitting…

      Cheers! This is the type of recipe to take to someone else’s house so you don’t eat half the tray [ahem] in one sitting.

    Wow, seriously good looking buns right there. They look fluffy, light and sticky. Mmm-mmm!

      Thanks! Sticky is right – have wet wipes on hand as these babies are gooey [but good!]

      Give ’em a try! But make sure you eat them on the day, they don’t keep well.

    I’m all about sweet for breakfast; I’d eat these any time of day! And seeing your last reply, having to eat them all that day doesn’t sound too hard… 🙂

    Never ever had this! I’m surprised I didn’t. It sounds undoubtedly good. Cream cheese and lemon and sugar…I’m game. I’ll let you know when I make them.

      Lemon is such a hero ingredient and when you pair it with sugar & cream cheese… swoon…
      Looking forward to seeing your rolls!

      I heart brunch – you get to have champers/cakes/rich food and things you would never normally eat before 11am!

    Were they fairly easy to make and did they take long? I’ve been drooling over these since seeing them at The Kitchn, but I’m a lazy breakfast person 🙂

      I am the *laziest* baker ever! I see recipes and if there are too many steps or tricky techniques I skip it! To be honest these did take quite a while and I started the day before. Save them for when you have a while!

      My poor thighs! 6 times sugar & bread = time to hit the gym! But they were soooo worth it!

    A little known secret about JOTS….I’ve HAD a B&B…or should I say a B&B HAD me? It was so much fun w/lots and lots of cooking…probably why I continue trying new “stuff”…and enjoy company, as well. If you are ever in Portland…come on by…I know a wonderful recipe (to be made soon) for Sticky Lemon Lemon-Glazed rolls that you’d enjoy. And yes…will let you know how they turn out!!! Thanks for sharing. Absolutely enchanted with your…”stuff”….

    I love sticky rolls, but some reason lemon sticky rolls have never come across my mind to whip up. I’m definitely going to have to try these, they look fabulous! Thank you for sharing.

      I like them as they were a bit more unusual than cinnamon rolls [which are also mega yum!]

    Wow! I have just found your blog and have been browsing through your archives. I agree, I am also not a big fan of the sweet breakfast, but this looks amazing! If I was offered your lemon rolls, I would absolutely be a sweet breakfast convert!
