Ingredients

Sweet dough:
2 packages yeast (5 teaspoons) 
¾ cup warm water 
¾ cup sugar 
½ cup shortening, melted 
¼ cup butter, melted 
3 eggs 
1¼ cups milk 
6-7 cups high gluten flour 
1 teaspoon salt 

Filling:
6 tablespoons butter, melted 
½ cup sugar 
¼ cup brown sugar 
3 teaspoon cinnamon 

Glaze:
¾ cup powdered sugar 
1 teaspoon vanilla 
Milk, to desired consistency 

 

 

Directions

  1. In a bowl dissolve yeast in water. In another bowl combine sugar and eggs. Add the melted shortening, butter and milk. Add yeasted water and stir to combine. In a large bowl stir flour and salt together. Add flour a cup at a time to yeast mixture and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Knead mixture until semi-smooth. Transfer dough to a buttered bowl, cover and place in a warm spot to rise for one hour.

  2. Roll out dough in a rectangle (approximately 24 inches x 10 inches) and to a thickness of ¼ -½ -inch. Brush dough with melted butter. In a bowl combine sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture over melted butter, covering all the dough. Along long side of rectangle roll dough up, like a rug. Trim ends and slice roll into sixteen 1½-inch rounds.

  3.  Dip both sides of rounds in cinnamon-sugar mixture and arrange on greased sheet pan or in 2 buttered large cast-iron frying pans, cover and let rise for 30-40 minutes. In a bowl whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla and milk, cover and set aside.

  4. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Cool for 5 minutes and drizzle with glaze, if desired. Yield: 16-18 rolls.
