In 1/2 cup of warm water, add 1 tablespoon sugar to yeast and stir until a liquid. Set aside. Cream sugar, Crisco and eggs. Add other ingredients (including yeast mixture) and beat. Let rise to twice it's size and roll and cut. Bread may be cut like pie crust pieces and rolled into butter horn shape, or may be simply cut by round cookie cutter and folded in half. Let rise again and bake in a moderate oven about 12 to 15 minutes. Note: When rolls are baked, you may pour over them the juice of one orange and powdered sugar for a frosting.
