Refrigerator Rolls are a favourite in Our Greener Kitchen. Volunteers and guests always ask for the recipe. We like it because it's a time-saver. We make it the day before and the first thing the day's cook does is set the rolls out in pans to rise and we can have them ready for lunch.

2 Tablespoons white sugar
¼ cup shortening
