BUTTER HORN ROLLS 
1 c. milk
1/2 c. shortening (or lard or butter)
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 pkg. active dry yeast dissolved in 1/2 cup warm water and 1 tsp. sugar
4 1/2 c. flour
Melted butter
Sugar and cinnamon

In large saucepan combine milk, shortening, sugar and salt. Heat until shortening is melted. Let cool. Add beaten eggs and yeast mixture. Add 4 1/2 cups flour. Knead on lightly floured surface. Place in greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled. Cut dough in half and roll each half round like pie crust. Smear melted butter over the top and sprinkle on a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Cut each round into 16 wedges (like pizza). Roll wedges up from large end and wrap small end around. Dip tops in melted butter and sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Put on pans and let rise about 20 to 25 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Place in freezer bags and reheat when using.
