3/4 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs
5 1/2 c. flour
Grated rind of 1 lemon
2 pkg. dry yeast
1 1/4 c. milk
1 tsp. salt

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, salt and lemon. Heat milk to lukewarm and dissolve yeast in it. Combine creamed mixture, flour and yeast and milk; knead dough by hand until smooth and elastic. It will pull away from bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Toss on board and form into sweet rolls, or braids or Cinnamon Kuchen.

Braids: Divide dough into 3 parts. Divide each part in 3 and braid. Put on greased tin and let rise until double again. Brush with egg. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
