Ingredients
Rolls
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 package active dry yeast (2¼ teaspoons)
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 egg
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
Filling
- 2/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
Instructions
- Combine the milk, sugar, shortening, and salt, and heat until the sugar has dissolved and the shortening has melted. Let cool.
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water and give it a few minutes to activate. Add the yeast mixture and the egg to the milk and mix well. Add the flour and mix to make a dough that is soft, but not sticky. Refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it rise until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- To prepare the filling for the cinnamon rolls, use an electric mixer to blend the brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter until softened and well mixed.
- Roll out the dough, spread the filling on top, and tightly roll up the dough. Cut off the ends of the roll, cut the remaining roll into 1-inch pieces, and place the pieces in a greased 9x13-inch pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
