Steps:

• Dough:Pour milk into a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast evenly over milk, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in sugar, butter, egg, orange zest, and salt. Stir in flour (dough will be very soft and wet). Place dough in a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down dough, and press into the bottom of an 8-inch round plain or fluted cake pan, making edge slightly higher than center. Cover, and let rise until puffed, about 45 minutes.
• Filling:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together all filling ingredients until smooth. Press down center of risen dough, then pour in filling. Bake until golden brown around edge (filling will still be wobbly but will continue to set as it cools), about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature straight from the pan.

BUTTERKUCHEN (QUICK AND EASY PASTRY)

Steps:

• In a pyrex mixing bowl, combine milk, 1/2 c sugar, salt and 1/2 c butter. Heat in microwave until butter is melted.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve both packets of yeast into warm water with the pinch of sugar.
• Measure flour into another mixing bowl. Add eggs and stir to just combine. When butter has melted, add the liquid to the flour mixture and stir a little. Then add yeast and stir enough so that all ingredients are combined.
• Grease a 10x13 pan and spread dough in pan. Let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
• While dough is rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Also, mix together the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the dough.
• Place in oven over a halfsheet to catch any syrup that runs over the top. Bake for 22-27 minutes or until the top is golden and syrupy. Be careful not to overbake.

BUTTERKUCHEN

Steps:

• Put the flour, salt, 1 cup of the granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until well mixed, then add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the butter pieces. Process until the dough comes together in a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper that is as big as a baking sheet. Roll out the dough on the floured parchment paper. It should be about 12 by 18 inches and about 1/8 inch thick. You will have to work quickly, because the butter will get too soft. If the dough gets too soft and sticky, put it back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Sprinkle the brown sugar, the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and the remaining cinnamon over the dough.
• Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven, and, using a sharp knife, cut in little squares, about 1 inch or a little larger.
