Tangy Lemon Clovers
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1-1/2 cups warm water (110u0b0 to 115u0b0)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
- 1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 5 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, milk powder, shortening, eggs, salt, extract, spices and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide in half. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Shape each portion into a 16-in. log. Cut each log into 12 pieces; shape each piece into a ball.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the sugar, zest and nutmeg. Dip tops of balls in butter, then in sugar mixture.
- Place topping side up in well-greased muffin cups. Using greased kitchen scissors, cut rolls into quarters, almost to the bottom. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Brush with remaining butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Bake at 375u0b0 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.
