Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm milk and let it froth for about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix in 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 eggs, and 3 cups of all-purpose flour. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a small bowl for your filling. Once dough has risen, punch it down and transfer to floured surface.
  4. Roll dough into a large rectangle, brush with remaining melted butter, sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture, and scatter raspberries.
  5. Roll the dough tightly and slice into 12 pieces. Place in greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Bake in preheated oven at 375°F for 25 minutes until golden brown and edges are set. Allow to cool slightly.
  7. Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, melted butter, and lemon zest until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
  8. Drizzle the lemon glaze over slightly cooled rolls and enjoy warm.
