Step 1: These can either be made in the mixer or by hand. If by hand, use a large bowl.
Step 2: Pour water into mixing bowl, add yeast and a pinch of sugar, let stand for a few minutes.
Step 3: Stir to dissolve and add half the flour, sugar, salt and egg. Stir, then add melted shortening. Mix well, then stir in remaining flour by hand.
Step 4: Cover bowl and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Step 5: Grease 18 large muffin cups. Stir batter and spoon into muffin cups, filling 1/2 full. Batter will look messy, that's okay.
Step 6: Let rise in warm place until batter reaches top of muffin cups, about 20-30 minutes.
Step 7: Bake at 425 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, or until done. Prepare topping a few minutes before rolls will be done and brush on top right after removing rolls from oven. Serve warm.
