Breakfast Danish Crisps

Directions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter, lemon zest, salt, mace, eggs and 2 cups flour; beat well. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. 2

   Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. 3

   Punch dough down. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 in. thick. Spread with 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup sugar. Fold in half lengthwise; roll to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with 1/3 cup sugar.
4. 4

   Fold in half widthwise; roll to an 18x10-in. rectangle. Spread with remaining butter. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle half over dough to within 1/4 in. of edges. Roll up tightly, starting with a short side; pinch to seal. Cut into 1/2-in. slices.
5. 5

   Place on greased baking sheets (4-6 slices per sheet). Cover with waxed paper and flatten with palm of hand. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar. Let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.
6. 6

   Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes. Immediately remove from pans to wire racks.
