Servings: persons

3 1/2 cups flour
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup powdered milk
2 tablespoons shortening
1 egg
1 1/4 cups tap water
Topping
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup flour

1
Stir together 1 cup of the flour, the yeast, salt, sugar, and powdered milk. Add shortening, egg, and hot water.
2
Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add another cup of flour and beat at hight speed for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour and mix well.
3
Turn onto lightly floured board. Dough will be soft and sticky. Do not knead but gently turn dough several times with a spatula to lightly coat with flour. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rest 20 minutes. Meanwhile, grease 2 baking sheets and make topping.
4
Topping: Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolk and cinnamon and blend. Add flour and mix well. Mixture may be crumbly. (I had to add a lot more flour at this point- maybe even 1 1/2 cups).
5
Rolls: With floured hands, divide dough into 12 pieces and shape into round, flat buns. Place on greased baking sheets.
6
Sprinkle equal amounts of topping over each bun and press lightly into dough.
7
Loosely cover rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 to 12 hours. remove from refrigerator, uncover, and let stand while preheating oven to 400u00b0F Bake for 15 minutes.
