Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix warm water, honey, egg, and vanilla until combined. Add melted shortening and stir.
Combine wet and dry ingredients using a stand mixer with a dough hook; knead for about 8 minutes until sticky but workable.
Shape dough into a ball and let it rise in an oiled bowl covered for 1–2 hours until nearly doubled.
Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture while the dough rises.
Roll risen dough into an 8" by 12" rectangle, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, roll tightly from one edge, seal the ends with water, cut into pieces.
Let cut pieces rise for another 45 minutes before baking at 350°F or frying until golden.
