Mom's Orange Rolls


2 pkg yeast
1/4 c warm water
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c shortening
2 tsp salt
1 c hot water
3 eggs, well beaten
1 c flour
3 1/2 c flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside.
Dissolve the sugar, shortening, salt, and hot water together and let cool.
Mix the eggs and flour together and add sugar mixture.
Add the yeast mixture and the flour

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

About 4 hours before serving--roll out dough and spread with:
1/3 c sugar
1/3 c butter, softened
rind of one orange

Roll up dough like cinnamon rolls and slice about 1 inch thick. Put in greased muffin tins and let rise for 3-4 hours.

Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes.
While warm, spread with glaze made of juice from the orange and powdered sugar. Add juice to sugar to reach desired thickness.
