Welcome to Brunch Week.
Today is the last day in this series. I'm a little sad it's ending.
Yet I'm super stoked to share these Raspberry Sweet Rolls with Meyer Lemon Glaze with you.
Like wicked happy.
Like I may have gotten carried away...
and eaten ten bazillion of these little suckers.
Oddly, I don't even feel bad.
Like at all.
Not even a little!

 When I saw these rolls over at Buns in my Oven I just had to make them, hers are simply stunning. She takes such amazing photos too. If you have not discovered her blog yet, you are likely living under a rock, and you should totally do something about that. Her site is so much fun and she always makes delicious recipes served up with humour and style. The original recipe is from Food & Wine. That right there is one of those "`nuff said" moments. It's Food & Freaking Wine people!
Raspberry Sweet Rolls with Meyer Lemon Glaze #BrunchWeek
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 cup milk warmed
- â…” cup vanilla sugar regular sugar is fine to use
- 1 ½ tablespoons active dry yeast
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon Meyer Lemon Salt regular salt can be used
- 4 ¼ cups AP flour
For the Filling:
- One 10 ounce package of frozen raspberries do not thaw
- 1 cup of raspberry jam
- ¼ cup vanilla sugar regular sugar can be used
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
For the Meyer Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon meyer lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon meyer lemon zest
Instructions
For the Dough:
- In a small saucepan over low heat warm the milk up.You want it warm but not boiling. (Original recipe calls for 95 degrees)
- Now pour the milk into the mixing bowl of your stand mixer (use a bowl and hand mixer if you don't have a stand mixer). Add the sugar and yeast to the mixing bowl. Leave this alone for about 5 minutes for the yeast to do it's thing.
- Now add the dough hook attachment to the mixer.
- Add the butter, eggs, and salt.
- Now add the flour and turn mixer on medium speed, allowing the dough to come together and form a soft ball. This takes about 3 minutes.
- Increase the mixer to medium speed and allow to mix for about 7 to 10 minutes more. Dough should be soft and supple, do not overwork it.
- Transfer the dough to a non stick sprayed bowl and cover it. Place it somewhere warm and allow it to rise for about 1 to 2 hours. Mine took 2 hours to rise well. Temperature in the house can affect the rise time.
- Once the dough has risen you want to line a 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper, it should come up the sides of the pan. For anyone skeptical about parchment I dare you to try it. It will change your world.
- Spray or butter the paper, I like spray over butter myself for this one.
- Pull the dough out of the bowl and lay it out on a lightly floured work surface. Now roll it out into about a 10 x 24 size rectangle.
For the Filling:
- In a large bowl combine the frozen raspberries, sugar and cornstarch. Mix well.
- Spread this over the dough. Then drop jam by spoonfuls randomly.
- Work sort of fast and roll the dough up so it's 24 inches long.
- Cut this into 4 pieces, evenly. Then cut each of those pieces into 4 slices.
- Place all the rolls, cut side up, into the pan.
- Cover and allow to rise for 2 hours in a warm place in your kitchen.
- Once they rolls have risen you want to preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. You want berries bubbly and dough turning a nice golden colour.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool for about 20 to 30 minutes. (good luck with this step, so tempting to dig in)
For the Meyer Lemon Glaze:
- In a small bowl combine the confectioners sugar, butter, heavy cream, meyer lemon juice and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth.
- Spread over rolls.
- You can toss a bit more meyer lemon zest over top if you want to jazz them up some more.

john@kitchenriffs
The return of Meyer lemons! We all knew it would be just a matter of time. 😉 Super rolls - these look fantastic with that glaze. Yummy stuff - thanks.
Kim Beaulieu

Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie
Just raspberry sweet rolls had me wanting these, but the meyer lemon glaze too? Yum!
Kim Beaulieu
I have such a weakness for meyer lemons.
Allison (Spontaneous Tomato)
Yum! These look amazing. I made meyer lemon sticky rolls with lemon glaze recently (they never made it onto my blog), but they were missing some oomph to them... The raspberry + lemon combination is so perfect. I wish I could eat these for brunch right now! 🙂
Kim Beaulieu
Those sound yummy. I love anything with meyers. They are just so sweet and yummy.
Maureen | Orgasmic Chef
What a wonderful Mother's Day vision. I need someone to make these for me 🙂 Yum
Kim Beaulieu
I like the way you think.
Carrie @ poet in the pantry
LOVE these! Not only are they so pretty, but I bet the flavor is amazing! Tangy yet sweet... YUM! I could see how you would be tempted to eat a whole pan. 😉
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks. That's pretty much what I did. ha
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
I want one!!! These sound fabulous!
Kim Beaulieu
So good. I love these things.
Anna @ hiddenponies
Oh, these are ooey-gooey perfection. I never make it to brunch without having breakfast first these days, but I am pretty in love with the idea. Happy Mother's Day to you, Kim - your kids are lucky to have you and your sweet buns 😉
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks so much Anna. For some reason that last sentence turned me into a giggling 8 year old.
suzanne Perazzini
What a fabulous collection of brunch foods. I can just imagine these all laid out on a table and having a hard time choosing what to eat.
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks Suzanne. I tend to go for the eat one of everything motto. Not always good for the waistline.
Choc Chip Uru
These are so beautiful my friend, I would stare at it forever if it wasn't so tasty too!
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks Uru. They sure are good.
Baker Becky
These are right up my alley....I am a freak for anything with raspberries and lemon! 🙂
I would love if you would share at my linky party! I'm co-hosting with Christine from Esskunst.org for a #cakefriday linky party!
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks so much. I'm the same way. Raspberries and lemon are perfection together.
Tiffany @ Triple Crème Decadence
This looks perfect! I agree with Kim, raspberries and lemon are perfection together. I'm loving the concept of your blog!
mikky
All I can say is YUM,YUM, YUM!!!!
I went to brunch this weekend and swore off brunch for awhile because I felt so heavy and tired afterwards, but boy looking at all these delicious options I have changed my mind!
Kim, the French toast looks so delicious! Actually, I think I could eat one of each of these. Wish this were a brunch buffet.
🙂
