Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Melt dairy-free butter and combine with dairy-free milk and caster sugar in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle in yeast and let sit until frothy. Gradually mix in flour to form a dough.
- Knead: Transfer dough to a floured surface, knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth, then let rise in an oiled bowl covered with cloth for about 1 hour.

- Assemble Rolls: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out risen dough into a rectangle, spread cooled lemon curd evenly, roll tightly, and cut into pieces.
- Bake: Arrange rolls on a lined baking tray and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before drizzling with lemon icing.
