550 g flour -
5 ml salt -
30 ml castor sugar -
5 ml ground cinnamon -
- - lemon peel grated
225 g unsalted butter rub this into the dry ingredients
25 g yeast -

  • Roll out each piece of dough to a rectangle.
  • Now fold the dough over in thirds.

  • Roll up as for swiss roll and cut pieces 2,5 - 5cm thick, depending on how large you want the buns.
  • Set on greased baking tray 2,5cm apart, so that when they have proved and baked, they will be joined together.

  • Brush with milk and sugar glaze as they come from the oven.
