1/2 c. scalded milk
2 tbsp. shortening
1/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2 c. flour
1 pkg. yeast, dissolved in 1/4 c. warm water

Add the sugar, shortening and salt to the hot milk. Cool to lukewarm. Add the yeast, egg and flour all at once. Beat well. Let it rise at least 10 minutes. Then, mix 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Divide the dough in half and roll out into rectangles. Spread each with soft butter and sprinkle with half the cinnamon/sugar. Roll up like a jelly roll. Cut as if to make cinnamon rolls. Put rolls onto waxed paper and sprinkle with remaining sugar/cinnamon. Cover with another sheet of wax paper. Roll out thin. Place on a greased cookie sheet and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheet immediately to cool.
