We took a zesty scroll recipe and reinvented it for an old-fashioned Ironclad Co cast iron pan. - Lindy Lawler

Ingredients

¾ cup milk
¼ cup white sugar
2 ¼ tsp quick rise yeast
¼ cup butter, softened
1 egg at room temperature
4 cups bread flour
Pinch of salt

Filling

150g butter at room temperature
100 brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger

Frosting

100g mascarpone or cream cheese, at room temperature
¼ cup lemon curd
150g icing sugar
1/3 cup milk

Method

Step 1

Warm milk to 40 degrees or until it feels like a lukewarm bath. Place milk and sugar in a bowl then sprinkle yeast over the top. Set aside for 10 minutes for the yeast to activate.
Step 2

Combine butter and egg until smooth, then add to the yeast mixture. Stir in bread flour and salt with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Step 3

Knead the dough on a well-floured surface for 8-10 minutes, forming into a slightly sticky ball. Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl. Cover and set aside to double in size for 1 hour.
Step 4

Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out into a 40 x 40 cm rectangle.
Step 5

To make the filling, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon and ginger. Spread the mixture over the entire surface of the dough.
Step 6

Tightly roll up the dough, finishing with the seam side facing down. Cut the length of dough into 12 pieces with a serrated knife.
Step 7

Place scrolls in a greased cast iron pan. Cover with a tea towel and let the scrolls rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 8

In the meantime, preheat oven to 175 degrees C. Remove tea towel and bake the scrolls for 24 minutes or until just slightly golden brown on the edges.
Step 9

To make the frosting combine mascarpone (or cream cheese), butter, powdered sugar, lemon curd and lemon zest until smooth. Spread over the warm scrolls and serve. If you'd like crispier scroll edges, pop the pan on medium heat on a stove for a minute or two. The handle will be hot, so ensure you protect yourself with an oven mitt.
