Grandmother's Yeast & Cinnamon Rolls

By

If there ever was an iconic Grandmother recipe - this has to be it. We all loved having her family famous cinnamon rolls (please no raisins in mine!) warmed up with a drizzle of confectioner's sugar icing. To make icing just add a bit of milk to confectioner's sugar and stir. Be careful - it only takes a little milk to turn the sugar into the proper consistency to drizzle.

Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve yeast in warm water.

Warm milk and shortening in a small saucepan just until shortening melts. Be very careful not to boil or overheat. Remove from heat as soon as shortening melts and let cool until a little warmer than room temperature.

In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, yeast and milk mixture. Mix together. Add flour one cup at a time. Lightly coat top of dough with vegetable oil and spread a damp kitchen towel across top of bowl. Towel should not touch dough.
