Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In another bowl, mix warm water, honey, egg, and vanilla until smooth; add melted shortening.
Combine wet and dry ingredients in a stand mixer on low speed until mixed.
Knead on medium speed for about 8 minutes until sticky but workable; shape into a ball in an oiled bowl.
Cover and let rise for 1 to 2 hours until nearly doubled.
Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture while dough rises.
Roll out dough into a rectangle; sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and roll tightly.
Cut into 1-inch pieces and let rise again on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes or fry as desired.
