Add the remaining sugar and water, butter, egg, salt and 1-1/2 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Meanwhile, combine topping ingredients; pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan; set aside.

Cool 3 minutes; invert pan onto a serving plate.

Steps:

• Prepare dough: Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just about to boil, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sugar, shortening, and salt; remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm, about 10 minutes.
• While the milk mixture is cooling, sprinkle yeast over water and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Pour lukewarm milk mixture into a bowl; add 1 cup flour and beat well. Beat in yeast mixture and egg. Gradually beat in remaining 2 1/2 cups flour. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Test by pressing a finger into the dough; a fingerprint should stay.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch square baking pans.
• Prepare filling: Mix sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and divide in half. Roll one piece into a 16x8-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of the filling over top. Start at the long edge of the rectangle and roll up as for a jelly roll. Cut into eight 1-inch slices and place cut-sides down into one prepared baking pan. Repeat with remaining rectangle.
• Bake in the oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare frosting by mixing confectioners' sugar and water together in a bowl.
• Remove rolls from the oven. Transfer to a large serving plate and spread frosting over top.

Steps:

• Roll dough to 18 x 8 inches; brush with melted butter.
• Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins, if desired, to within 1/2 inch of edges.
• Roll up tightly from long side, pinching seam to seal; cut into 9 equal pieces.
• Place, cut sides up, in greased 8 x 8-inch pan.
• Cover; let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until doubled.
• Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done.
• Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Mix sugar and water together.
• Sprinkle with yeast.
• Let stand 10-15 minutes or until dissolved.

• Ice while warm with 3 tablespoons evaporated milk, 1/4 tsp vanilla, 1 c icing sugar, that has been stirred together well.

Steps:

• Combine water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add remaining sugar, 1/4 cup oil, egg, and salt; mix until combined. Scrape paddle attachment and switch to the dough hook. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading for about 3 more minutes.
• Add a bit of oil on the dough and roll the dough in the bowl until all sides are coated. Cover with a towel and let rise until at least doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Punch down the dough and transfer to a floured surface. Roll out into a rectangle. Pour melted butter onto the dough and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon to taste. Add pecans. Roll up lengthwise and cut into 12 rolls. Transfer to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and let rise for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown in color, about 15 minutes.
• While the rolls are baking, combine powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla for topping. Add 1 tablespoon milk and mix to a pourable consistency, adding more if necessary.
• Remove rolls from the oven. Immediately pour topping over top and sprinkle with pecans.

Steps:

• 1. Scald milk in a saucepan; add shortening, sugar, and salt. Cool to lukewarm.
• 2. Sprinkle yeast on warm water; stir to dissolve.
• 3. Add 1 1/2 cups of the measured flour to the milk mixture; beat well. If not using a mixer, beat with a wooden spoon.
• 4. Beat in eggs and yeast.
• 5. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour, a little at a time, to make a soft dough that leaves the sides of the bowl. Dough will be slightly sticky.
• 6. Turn onto lightly floured board cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
• 7. Knead, incorporating a little more flour as necessary, until smooth, satiny, and no longer sticky, about 8 to 10 minutes. Keep your hands dusted with flour to prevent sticking. Kneading is necessary to produce the great texture of these rolls.
• 8. Place in a lightly greased bowl, invert to grease top, cover, and let rise until doubled, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down and turn onto a board.
• 9. Divide in half. Lightly grease counter or board. Roll each half into a 14 x 6-inch rectangle.
• 10. For the filling, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon.
• 11. Spread half of the mixture on each rectangle. Scatter 1/2 cup of raisins on each rectangle (optional).
• 12. Roll up the rectangle lengthwise as for jelly roll. Seal the edges and cut dough into 1-inch slices. Put cut side down in 2 well-greased square baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled. Brush butter on the tops very lightly.
• 13. Bake 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees. Makes 32 rolls, however, the exact number will depend on the size you cut them.
• 14. For the icing, mix 1 cup confectioners' sugar with milk or cream to enable spreading consistency. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla and a dash of salt.
• 15. Frost while rolls are still warm. Note 1: Though this dough can be made by hand mixing, I mixed the dough in my Kitchen Aid mixer. I let the Kitchen aid mixer knead the dough for 10 minutes on low and then I hand-kneaded the dough another 5 minutes before placing them in the bowl to rise. Note 2. I like to let my dough rise in the oven. I cover it with a lightweight cloth and put it in the oven. I put a shallow pan of hot water beneath the bowl of dough on a lower rack in the oven. Note 3: I cut the rolls between 1 1/2 inches and 2 inches because Grandma's cinnamon rolls were always big. These can be baked in a round, rectangle, or square pan.
• 16. Every time I bake these for my family, my first memory of these rolls come back to me. I was 4 years old and I was out on the tractor with Grandpa one chilly morning. We had just left the barn and were moving hay to the pasture for his cows. I caught a whiff of something in the air. I said," Grandpa what is that good smell?" He lifted his head and said, "Oh wee! Grandma's baking cinnamon rolls." I was sitting on top of this lap and he turned that tractor around so fast that I almost fell off. We got to the house and raced inside the kitchen door and I guess Grandma had been watching us from the window. She was standing there with her rolling pin, slapping it in her hand. She looked sternly at Grandpa and said, "If you're ever going to drive the tractor like that again while that child is with you, you're going to be seeing stars." Grandpa and I sat down and Grandma placed a glass of milk and one of her big cinnamon rolls in front of us. When Grandma had her back to us, I leaned in and whispered, "Grandpa, this is so yummy I think it's worth seeing the stars." Grandpa smiled back at me and winked. From then on when I was with Grandpa on the tractor I would say, "Go faster Grandpa." He would reply, "No siree, Grandpa don't want to see stars today." We would laugh and giggle.
