ORANGE ROLLS 
2 cakes compressed yeast
1 c. orange juice & warm water
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. melted shortening
Grated rind of 1 orange
1/4 c. melted butter
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
About 4 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. sugar

Dissolve yeast cakes in the juice of a large orange and enough water to make 1 cup lukewarm liquid. Add 1/4 cup sugar, melted and cooled shortening, eggs, salt and enough flour to make a stiff dough. (Use wooden spoon, no beater.)

Turn out on floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. Let rise in bowl (rubbed with oil) until doubled. Roll out into rectangle and spread with a mixture of grated orange rind, 1/4 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup sugar. Roll up like a jelly roll. Cut in 1 inch slices. Place in greased muffin tins. Cover and let rise until light. Bake in hot oven at 400 degrees, about 15 minutes. Yield 2 dozen large rolls.
