Roll


Ingredients:  
Ingredients:

1/2 cup shortening

1/4 cup sugar

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cut the shortening into the flour using a pastry blender or two forks. The goal is to get the shortening cut into tiny pea-size pieces.
Add the water and stir until combined. Use your hands to gently knead the dough until it holds together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll the dough into a thin rectangle that is about 10x16-inches. Spread the soft butter to cover the dough then sprinkle with the sugar and nutmeg (or cinnamon). Carefully and tightly roll the dough up jelly roll style and pinch to seal the long edge. Cut the dough into 12 even rolls and place them into the prepared dish.

Personal Notes:
I have my great grandmothers recipe, however as most of the older people did not use measurements hers was difficult to use. I combined it with the closest recipe that I could locate to get at this recipe.
