Stir milk mixture into flour mixture with fork just until dough leaves sides of bowl, dough might be slightly sticky.
Roll dough out, on lightly floured surface, into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle.
Brush top with butter (I prefer to use soft butter and spread it).
Combine 1 teaspoons orange zest and sugar, stir to distribute the zest, mix in cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over dough.
Roll up, starting on long side.
Cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
Place rounds, with sides just touching, in greased 9" round pan.
