HOMEMADE ORANGE ROLLS

1 cup Crisco shortening
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tsp salt
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup warm water
oranges


Sift flour before measuring. Dissolve yeast in the 1/2 cup of warm water and add the sugar. Let stand for 20 minutes to proof.
Cream shortening with 1/2 cup white sugar and salt. Add well beaten eggs and 1 cup warm water, mixing until all is dissolved. Add yeast mixture and remaining flour. Mix dough well.

Cover and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours. About 3 hours before serving, roll out dough in a rectangle like you would for cinnamon rolls. Spread liberally with melted butter and place pieces of orange (no membrane or pith) over dough. Slice off 1 inch pieces and place on greased baking sheet.

Cover and allow to rise in warm place approximately 2 hours.

PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees and bake for 15 minutes. While rolls are still warm, glaze with orange icing.
