Add flour one cup at a time, beating mixture with a fork until it reaches a doughy consistency.
Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly flour a flat surface and a rolling pin.
Place rolls round-side down on prepared sheet pan, leaving at least ½ inch between them. Let rolls rise 15 minutes.

Form dough into a loose ball and place in a bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise for at least 30 minutes, until the dough has doubled in size.
Once the dough is ready, roll it out to about ¼-inch thick.
Bake rolls 12 to 15 minutes, until browned.

While the dough rises, make the filling: In a large bowl, mix shortening, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon until a paste forms.
Using your hands, roll up the dough longwise like a log. Cut the log into 12 slices.
Remove rolls from oven and top with icing. Serve warm.
Using a spoon or pastry brush, spread the filling onto the dough.
While rolls are baking, make the icing: In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, mix butter or shortening, powdered sugar, cream or milk, and vanilla until thick enough to spread. If you’d like, add more milk for a thinner icing, and more sugar for a sweeter taste.
