My neighbor, Mrs. Baker, used to bake these cinnamon rolls and invite me and my children over while they were baking. The smell of homemade cinnamon rolls was irresistible.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup sugar

  • ⅓ cup shortening

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

  • ½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

  • 3 eggs

  • 5 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2/3 cup sugar, shortening, salt and 1 cup boiling water; set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add eggs and the water/sugar mixture; beat well. Beat in 2 cups flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix until a stiff dough has formed. Cover with a damp towel and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.

  3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease three 8x8 inch baking pans.

  4. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Roll dough into small balls. Dip balls in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar. Roll balls into 4 inch long cylinders and tie into knots. Place knots into prepared pans.

  5. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until golden. Serve warm.
