Mamma'S Orange Refrigerator Rolls

• Refrigerator Rolls
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
• 1/4 cup shortening (I recommend butter-flavored shortening for the best flavor)
• 3 ounces sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 packages dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water (about 105u0b0 F, but don't go warmer than 115u0b0 F)
• 1 eggs, slightly beaten
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• Orange Filling and Glaze
• 6 to 8 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
• 2 cups confectioners sugar
• 4 tablespoons orange juice

1. Boil 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan. Remove from the stove and add the butter and shortening and stir until melted. Add the sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm.
2. In a large bowl, put in the 1/2 cup of warm water and sprinkle the yeast over it. Stir to dissolve. Add the butter / sugar mixture and eggs to the dissolved yeast. Add 3 cups flour or enough to make a thick dough and mix thoroughly. Cover and put in the refrigerator overnite.
3. About 2 to 2 1/2 hours before serving the rolls, turn the dough out onto a floured workspace, divide in half and roll each portion into a 12- x 8-inch rectangle.
4. Spread the orange filling (recipe below) on the dough, dividing the filling between the 2 rectangles. Roll up each rectangle like a jelly roll and slice into 18 equal slices.
5. Place the rolls in cupcake paper in muffin pans (which helps to hold the glaze when served) or use 3 greased 8- or 9-inch square baking pans. Let rolls rise for 1 1/2 hours.
6. Preheat your oven to 375u0b0 F. Bake the rolls for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
7. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls and serve.
8. Note: Reserve a few for yourself in case they get completely eaten up by everyone before you sit down.
9. Stir together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and orange zest. Spread on the rolled-out dough rectangles.
10. Mix together the confectioners sugar and orange juice. Drizzle over warm rolls fresh from the oven.
