Steps:
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water and let stand until creamy, about 15 minutes. Zest and juice the lemon; set juice aside for later use.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk, butter, salt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and 2 cups of the flour. Stir until smooth and well combined. Mix in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has come together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and satiny; about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume; about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 12x24 inches.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, 1/4 cup sugar and pecans; spread this mixture evenly across the dough. Roll the dough into a long roll and press the seam closed. With the seam turned downward, seal the two ends together to make a ring. Use a little water to help you seal the ends.
- Place the ring on a lightly greased cookie pan. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, make cuts every inch or so along the ring, cutting only three quarters of the way through. Twist each piece slightly so that the rolls fan out from the center of the ring. Cover the roll with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the ring from the oven, place on a rack to cool.
- Place the lemon juice in a small bowl along with the vanilla. Add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Continue adding powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is fairly thick but still pourable. Drizzle the lemon-sugar topping over the ring.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Meanwhile, put flour, 1/4 cup sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl and cut in 1 cup butter until particles are fine. Add 1/2 cup cream, eggs, softened yeast and currants; mix well. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
- For filling: cream 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in pecans and set aside.
- Divide dough into 6 parts. Roll out each part on floured surface to a 12x6" rectangle and spread each with 1/6 of the pecan filling. Roll up, starting with 12" side, pinching dough to seal. Place in a crescent shape on foil-lined or parchment-lined cookie sheets, seam side down. Make cuts along outside edge of crescent, 1" apart, to within 1/2" of other side. Turn cut pieces on their sides, twisting the dough slightly. Repeat with remaining dough to make six tea cakes. (Three cakes may fit on one cookie sheet.).
- Let rise in warm place until light, about 45 minutes. You can also, at this point, refrigerate the tea cakes, covered, overnight. Then bake as directed in the morning, adding 5-10 minutes to baking time. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Carefully remove from cookie sheets to wire racks using 2 spatulas and frost while warm.
- For frosting, heat 1/2 cup butter in heavy saucepan. Watching carefully, cook butter until it just begins to turn light brown. It burns very easily, so don't leave the stove during this step! Beat in powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough cream for desired spreading consistency. Frost tea cakes.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water.
- Combine milk, butter, eggs, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer; stir in yeast mixture.
- Gradually stir in flour at speed setting 2 or 3 until dough is slightly stiff and pulls away from the sides of the bowl; replace paddle with dough hook and knead at speed setting 2 or 3 for seven minutes.
- After kneading, place dough in a greased bowl, cover with cling wrap, and allow to rise for 1 hour in a warmed oven (set at about 200 F then turned off).
- After dough has risen, punch down and divide in half. Use a rolling pin to form each half into an 8"x14" rectangle. Spread 3 tablespoons of lemon curd on each half; divide the candied lemon peel, citron, and pecans evenly and sprinkle over top of the lemon curd.
- Starting at the wide side, tightly roll each rectangle into a cylinder. Pinch together seams, then shape roll into a circle, pinching together the two ends.
- Place rings on lightly greased baking sheets, seam down. With scissors or a sharp knife, cut down 2/3rd through each ring at 1-inch intervals. Gently pull and twist each section outward so that it lays on its side but is still connected to the ring. Allow to rise for an additional hour in warmed oven until doubled.
- Remove risen rings from oven, then preheat oven to 350º.
- Bake rings on middle rack of oven for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned. Whisk together the confectioner's sugar, milk, and lemon juice to make a light glaze; spread upon warm rings and sprinkle with grated lemon zest and sparkling sugar.
