Ingredients
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)1/4 cup shortening1/4 cup sugar1 teaspoon salt1 large egg, lightly beaten3-1/2 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flourFILLING:1 cup sugar1/2 cup butter, softened2 tablespoons grated orange zestGLAZE:1 cup confectioners’ sugar4 teaspoons butter, softened1/2 teaspoon lemon extract4 to 5 teaspoons 2% milk
Preparation
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the milk, shortening, sugar, salt, egg and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine filling ingredients; set aside.
Punch dough down; divide in half. Roll each half into a 15x10-in. rectangle. Spread half the filling on each rectangle. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a long end. Cut each into 15 rolls.
Place, cut side down, in two greased 11x7-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. In a small bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, butter, extract and enough milk to achieve desired consistency; spread over warm rolls.
