INGREDIENTS

  • Dough

    • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
    • 💧 ¼ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
    • 🍋 1 lemon, juiced and zested
    • 🥛 1 cup milk
    • ½ cup margarine, softened
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup white sugar
    • 🥚 2 eggs, beaten
    • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • Filling

    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • ¼ cup white sugar
    • ¾ cup chopped pecans

  • Glaze

    • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

STEPS

1

Dissolve yeast in ¼ cup warm water and let stand until creamy, about 15 minutes. Zest and juice the lemon; set the juice aside.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk, margarine, salt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and 2 cups of flour. Stir until smooth. Gradually add remaining flour and knead until smooth (about 8 minutes). Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

3

Punch down the dough and roll it into a 12x24 inch rectangle.

4

Prepare the filling by mixing cinnamon, ¼ cup sugar, and chopped pecans. Spread evenly on the dough. Roll the dough into a log and shape it into a ring, then seal the ends.

5

Cut slits on the ring approximately 1 inch apart, cutting only ¾ of the way through. Twist the sections slightly outward, cover, and let rise for another hour.

6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

7

Bake the tea ring for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a rack.

8

Prepare the glaze by mixing lemon juice, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar until thick but pourable. Drizzle over the tea ring.
