Directions:Rise yeast in lukewarm water and 2 tsp. sugar.
Put butter, 1/2 cup sugar and salt,into scalded milk, stir until butter dissolved.
Add the yeast mixture to the milk mixture in a mixing bowl then add 3 cups of flour, eggs and lemon rind. Beat with mixer until well blended. Then stir in the remaining 3 cups of flour. Put dough on floured surface and knead until blended and smooth. Put dough into lightly oiled bread bowl to rise. Cover with clean tea towel and rest until double the size, approx. 1 and 1/2 hours.
Punch down and roll out into large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick to make cinnamon buns. Spread dough with 1/2 cup brown sugar combined with 1/4 cup melted butter and 1 tsp. cinnamon.
Roll up like jelly roll. Then cut [I use scissors] into 1/2 inch thick sections. Lay in prepared baking pans. Prepare with 1/2 cup melted butter and 3/4 brown sugar and sprinkle nuts if wanted. This mixture is separated between the baking pans. Cover with tea towel and let rise until double in size. Bake at 350 º for about 20 to 25 minutes. Take knife around edge and flip upside down immediately when out of oven.
