Cut with biscuit cutter, then with the handle of a knife dipped in flour press lightly through the center of each roll, brush with melted shortening, fold over and place close together in a well-greased pan. Set in a warm place until light, then bake in a hot oven. When baked, brush over with melted shortening or the unbeaten white of egg. The white of egg gives a high gloss.

Cinnamon Rolls

Use coffee cake foundation recipe. When light, roll dough into a sheet 1/2 inch thick. Brush over with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and, if desired, seedless raisins. Roll up as for a jelly roll, and with a sharp knife cut in slices about 1 1/2 inch thick. Place these slices upright in a well-greased pan and stand in a warm place to rise. Allow to become very light before baking. These can be varied by sprinkling brown sugar in the pan after greasing and placing the slices on sugar. When baked, turn upside down, the brown sugar forming a candied top. Care should be taken not to use too hot an oven for these rolls.

They can also be baked in muffin pans and treated in the same way.

Plain Sweet Rolls

Use coffee cake foundation recipe. When light, form into any desired shape, brush over with yolk of egg diluted with 2 tablespoons of milk. Allow to become light and bake. If perfect rolls are desired, do not put close together in pan. As soon as baked, brush over with egg yolk beaten with 2 tablespoons of milk to glaze. This should be done as soon as rolls are removed from the oven so the mixture will dry at once from heat of rolls.
