Old Fashioned Butter Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. self-rising flour
1/3 c. shortening
2/3 c. buttermilk
6 Tbsp. butter or margarine, softened
5 to 6 Tbsp. sugar
1 quart milk
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine flour, shortening and buttermilk in the bowl of food processor, fitted with the steel blade. (Or make the biscuit dough in your usual way.) Process until dough forms. Remove from bowl onto a well-floured surface. Knead until dough is a little firmer than regular biscuit dough. Roll out to a rectangle about 9 x 13 inches. Spread the 6 tablespoons of softened (not melted) butter over dough and sprinkle with 5 to 6 tablespoons sugar. Roll up jelly-roll fashion starting with the 13 inch side. Cut into pinwheels that are about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Place cut side down in a buttered 9x13x2 inch baking pan.
