GRANDMA’S ORANGE ROLLS
2 pkg active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water (110º to 115º) 2 cup warm milk (110º to 115º) 1/2 cup shortening 1/2 cup sugar 2 teaspoon salt 2 eggs, lightly beaten 7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
FILLING: 2 cups sugar 1 cup butter or margarine, softened 4 Tablespoons grated orange peel
GLAZE: 2 cup confectioners’ sugar 8 teaspoons butter or margarine, softened 8 to10 teaspoon milk 1 teaspoon lemon extract
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. In a large mixing bowl, mix milk, shortening, sugar, salt and egg. Add yeast mixture and blend. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured board until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down; divide in half. Roll each half into a 24-in x 10-in. rectangle. Mix filling ingredients until smooth. Spread half the filling on each rectangle. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a long end. Cut each into 12 rolls. Place in two greased 13-in x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350º for 20 minutes until lightly browned. Mix glaze ingredients; spread over warm rolls. Yield: 24 rolls.
