Refrigerator Rolls

1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup boiling water
1 yeast cake
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 beaten egg
3 1/4 cup unsifted flour

Mix shortening, sugar and salt. Add the boiling water. Cool. Dissolve yeast cake in lukewarm water. Add to first mixture together with egg and flour. Mix well, store in refrigerator overnight or until ready to use. Form into desired rolls. Set in warm place to raise. Bake in hot oven 10 to 15 minutes.

Megan's note: Next time I will sprinkle the rolls with a pinch of garlic, parmesan and oregano.
