Instructions:
- In a small saucepan, scald the milk.
- Pour hot milk over the granulated sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup of butter. Let it cool to lukewarm.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is bubbly.
- Add the milk mixture to the yeast and stir to mix.
- With a whisk, beat in the eggs.
- Fit your mixer with a dough hook, add flour 1 cup at a time, mixing until smooth. Add enough flour to make a soft dough.
- Knead the dough, adding small amounts of flour as necessary until it’s smooth and elastic but not sticky.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Punch down the dough.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle about 15×22 inches.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and brown sugar. Using a spatula, spread this mixture over the dough up to 1/2 inch from the edges.
- Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the sugar and butter.
- Top with a layer of chopped pecans and walnuts.
- Roll the dough up lengthwise to make a log and pinch the edge to seal.
- Slice the dough evenly into 12 pieces.
- Place each piece cut side down on the prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart, and let them rise, covered with parchment or plastic, for 15 minutes.
- Bake the rolls until lightly browned on top, about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven.
- To prepare the icing, beat 4 tablespoons of butter with powdered sugar and lemon juice until fluffy.
