"Mom was both famous and infamous for these rolls. Famous because everyone loved them. Infamous because she always put the second pan in the oven right when we sat down to eat, then forgot all about them! Start these the evening before. By the way, I’ve been experimenting with using butter rather than shortening, and I think it works."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
FIRST RISE: Scald milk warm enough to melt shortening and pour over shortening, soda, salt and sugar in large bowl.
Step 2
Whip in 4 cups flour. Dissolve yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in warm water, stir into dough.
Step 3
Let dough rise, covered, until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
Step 4
SECOND RISE: Gently stir in baking powder and lower amount of flour, dough should be fairly loose and sticky. Add remaining flour if needed, careful that dough doesn't become dry and stiff.
Step 5
Place dough, covered, in fridge for 12 -24 hours. (If making cinnamon rolls for breakfast, prepare them now and place in fridge, covered, overnight.)
Step 6
THIRD RISE: 1 1/2 hours before time to cook the rolls, shape the rolls. Kids love to do this part!
Step 7
Cloverleaf: With hands, shape dough into 1" balls and dip in melted butter. Place three balls into each cup of muffin tins.
Step 8
Once rolls are shaped, allow to rise 1 1/2 hours at room temperature. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until done. 350 if convection.
