  • 3 cups of flour

  • 1½ to 2 Jars of Lemon Curd (I use Dickinson)

  • Butter to grease pan
  • Confectioner's Sugar for Dusting

  7. Grease a 13x9 inch dish with butter.
  8. Flour working surface and roll dough into a rectangle that is approximately 15x12 inches and about ½ inch thick.
  9. Spread lemon curd all over dough evenly. Stop spreading about ½ inch from end of dough.
  10. Roll dough up starting with the long side of dough. Some curd may ooze out - that's normal.
  11. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into about 8 rolls.
  12. Pinch ends together once you cut the buns and place in baking dish.
  13. Leave some space between each roll.
  14. Cover rolls again with plastic wrap sprayed with vegetable spray and let rise for about 45 minutes.
  15. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
