Orange marmalade gives the frosting on these tender yeast rolls a pleasant citrus flavor. Shape the rolls any way you like for any special occasion. —Gerri Brown, Canfield, Ohio

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice

1/2 teaspoon butter, softened

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk,

flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a
soft dough.

Directions (continued)

Punch dough down; turn on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 13
pieces. Shape 12 pieces into 12-in. ropes. Fold each in half; twist
top half of the open end twice to form ears. Place 2 in. apart on
greased baking sheets. Shape remaining dough into 12 balls. Place
one on the loop end of each roll to form a tail; press into dough.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on
wire racks. In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients. Spread
over rolls. Yield: 1 dozen.
