Preparation

- Let rise, uncovered, in a warm place 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Bake at 375° for 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly in pans.
- Stir together powdered sugar and remaining ingredients until blended. Drizzle powdered sugar mixture evenly over warm rolls, and serve immediately.
