preheat oven to 450°

mix both packets yeast into warm water and sprinkle a little sugar in too and step aside for 5-10 minutes

in a large bowl mix 1 cup hot water ,shortening, salt and sugar ..mix and allow it to get warm

with electric mixer add 2-3 cups of flour and mix till smooth

now add you yeast mixture and blend until smooth

stir in eggs

now add remainder of the flour until your mixer won't mix it anymore and finish adding and mixing flour by hand...gently until a soft dough is formed

knead dough a few times just to insure incorporation

transfer dough to a bowl with a small amount of oil to cover outside of dough(turn dough once to cover)

set in a warm place covered and allow it to double in size (30 minutes)

push down dough and knead about 5 more times only

separate into two and roll each dough ball into a 20' by 10' rectangular shape.

now take the softened butter and smear 1/2 stick on each dough rectangle

next add your preferred amount of brown sugar....(I use a lot)

sprinkle lots of cinnamon...at this point you could also use raisins or nuts if you want.

starting with the long side of the dough, roll tight...not too tight...just makes it easier to cut and hold in filling.

pinch sides to hold it closed and cut into about 12 pieces per roll.

lay your cut rolls onto greased baking pans. and allow to double in size again.

Bake at 450° for 10 minutes

lower heat to 350° and cook for about 6-7 more minutes...No longer.

cool rolls and frost or serve warm [which is the bomb :) ]
