Ingredients:  
3/4 cup warm water
1 tbsp. sugar

Directions:
Mix 3/4 cup warm water, 1 tbsp. sugar and yeast in a cup, set aside in a warm place. Cream together shortening, 1/2 cup sugar, salt and egg, then add 2 cups lukewarm water. Combine yeast mixture into the shortening mixture. Add the flour and make a stiff dough. Allow to rise in a large bowl in a warm place until the dough doubles in size. Refrigerate the dough overnight (or you can store dough in refrigerator for up to five days, until needed). When you remove the dough from the refrigerator, work it down with your hands. Knead the dough on a lightly floured rolling mat. Roll out the dough until about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out round rolls into desired size using a biscuit cutter. Place the rolls onto a cookie sheet that has been covered with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the rolls about 1/4 to 1/2 inch apart. Before baking, lightly brush each roll with melted butter. Bake at 350º until rolls are lightly brown and set.

This recipe is also delicious for doughnuts. Simply cut the dough with a doughnut cutter and deep fry the rings. Drizzle with confectioner's sugar glaze.
