1/2 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
1/4 cup water
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
2 cups sugar, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups milk

Combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until mealy. Add water, then mix well. Roll dough out on floured board to 1/4 inch thickness. Spread with butter and 1 cup sugar. Roll dough up like jellyroll. Cut in 1 1/2 inch thickness as for cinnamon rolls.

Place in greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 to 25 minutes. When done, combine milk with remaining 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil. Pour over rolls. Return to oven and bake about 7 minutes longer.
