1/3 cup	butter
	shortening, alternative
1 teaspoon	salt

3 1/2 to 4 cups	all-purpose flour
Filling:

3/4 cup	sugar, plus more for pan
2 tablespoons	ground cinnamon
3/4 cup	raisins, walnuts, or pecans, optional
Glaze:
4 tablespoons	butter
2 cups	powdered sugar
1 teaspoon	vanilla extract
3 to 6 tablespoons	hot water

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and egg. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
When doubled in size, punch down dough. Roll out on a floured surface into a 15 by 9-inch rectangle. Spread melted butter all over dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle with walnuts, pecans, or raisins if desired. Beginning at the 15-inch side, role up dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12 to 15 slices.
Coat the bottom of baking pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake for about 30 minutes or until nicely browned.
Meanwhile, mix butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glazereaches desired consistency. Spread over slightly cooled rolls.
