Step 1

Cut the shortening into the flour really well with a fork. Stir in the milk.

Step 2

On a floured surface, dump out the dough and press together with your hands to form a ball.

Step 3

Roll out into a rectangle (about 7×10 in size). Spread softened butter over dough and then sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the top. Roll it up like a jelly roll and press it together lightly.

Step 4

Cut into nine slices about one inch thick each. Place into a lightly greased 8×8 baking dish.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, combine all of the milk sauce ingredients. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to bubble lightly. Pour over the rolls in the pan.

Step 6

Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown on top.

Step 7

Allow them to sit for a few minutes once done so the rolls soak up more sauce. After you put each roll on a plate, spoon more sauce over it.
