Instructions: Soften yeast in warm water. Combine milk, shortening, 1/2 cup sugar & salt.

Cool to lukewarm. Add 1 cup flour; beat well. Add yeast mixture & eggs.

Beat until smooth. Mix in remaining flour, or enough to make soft dough.

Knead on lightly-floured surface 8-10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover, let rise until double (1 to 1-1/4 hours). Punch down. Cover. Let rest 10 minutes. Shape into 28 balls (golf ball size). Roll each in melted butter, then in mixture of 3/4 cup sugar & cinnamon. Arrange in well-greased tube pan. Sprinkle with any remaining sugar mixture. Let rise in warm place until doubled (about 1 hour). Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Cool in pan 15-20 minutes. Remove pan.
