Directions:
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 surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 - 8 mins. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down; divide in half.

Roll each half into a 15" x 10" rectangle. Mix filling ingredients until smooth. Spread half the filling on each rectangle. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with long end. Cut each into 15 rolls. Place in two greased 11 x 7 x 2 " baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 mins.

Bake at 375º for 20 to 25 mins or until lightly browned. Mix glaze ingredients; spread over warm rolls.
