1/2 c. shortening
2 tsp. salt

Add:
1 c. warm water and yeast mixture

Haylee’s Note:
I got this recipe from my mom who got it from her friend Shelley Davies. These are DELICIOUS!! I love these! We have these every year for Easter, and this was my first time making them. I love these because they can be for breakfast, dessert, as side, or anything else! One tip my mom taught me is to pinch the bottoms of the rolls closed before baking them, that way all of the gooey stuff doesn’t come out. Here are a few extra pictures to help explain the process. The process is very similar to the cinnamon roll recipe.
