Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
In another bowl, mix warm water, honey, egg, and vanilla until combined. Add melted shortening.
Combine wet and dry ingredients using a stand mixer with a dough hook on low speed.
Knead the dough on medium speed for about 8 minutes until sticky but manageable. Shape into a ball and place in an oiled bowl.
Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours until nearly doubled in size.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture, roll tightly from one side, and cut into equal pieces.
Allow shaped buns to rise again for about 45 minutes before baking or frying as desired.
