Ingredients:
6 1/4 to 6 3/4 flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 pkgs active dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp finely shredded lime peel
3 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp butter, melted
Directions:
1.  In a medium mixing bowl combine 2 cups of the flour, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the yeast, and salt; set aside.  In a small saucepan heat and stir milk, water, and the 1/2 cup butter just until warm and butter is almost melted.  Add to flour mixture; add egg.  Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly.  Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.  Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
2.  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes).  Shape into a ball.  Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease surface.  Cover and let rise in a warm place until double (about 1 hour).  Punch dough down.  Turn out onto a floured surface.  Divide in half.  Cover; let rest for 10 minutes.
3.  For filling, in a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, lime peel, 2 Tbsp lime juice, and 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
4.  For icing, in another small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, remaining lime juice, and 1 tsp butter; set aside.  Lightly grease baking sheets; set aside.
5.   On a floured surface, roll each half of dough into a 14x9 inch rectangle.  Top each with 1/4 cup of sugar.  Starting from a long side, roll up dough; seal seams.  Cut each roll into 12 slices; arrange slices 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.  Make an indentation in each slice; fill each indentation with slightly less than 1 Tbsp of filling.  Bake in 375 degree oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove pastries from baking sheets; cool slightly.  Drizzle warm pastries with icing.  Serve warm.
