CINNAMON ROLLS 
5 c. self-rising flour
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. Crisco shortening
2 c. buttermilk
2 sm. pkgs. yeast
1/2 c. warm water (baby bath temperature)
1 sm. can cinnamon, ground
2 c. granulated sugar
butter
Powdered sugar

Blend together flour, sugar and Crisco; dissolve yeast in water and add to flour mixture. Blend in buttermilk. Mix this well until all dry ingredients are blended into dough. Cover in refrigerator overnight. This will rise double it's size. On a floured board, roll out 1/4 of dough mixture to about 1/2 inch thickness. Pour melted butter (enough to cover) the rolled out dough. Sprinkle on top of this the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Roll up jellyroll style. Slice in 1 inch slices. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

GLAZE: Left over melted butter and powdered sugar mixture. Drizzle over hot rolls.

(Grated American cheese can be substituted for cinnamon/sugar for cheese rolls. Great with chili!)
