Maple Sticky Buns

From Country Magazine Feb/Mar 1998
2 packages Active Dry Yeast
2 cups Warm Water
1/4 cup Oil/Shortening
1/2 cup Sugar
1 Egg
2 t. Salt
6 - 6 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add shortening, sugar, egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes, adding more flour if needed. Divide into thirds. Roll each portion into a 16"x10" rectange. On each rectangle, spread 2 T butter and sprinkle with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 t Cinnimon and 1/4 cup walnuts. Pour syrup into the bottom of 3 greased 9" round baking pans. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Tightly roll up each rectangle, starting with the short side. Slice each roll into 10 pieces; place over syrup. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pans for 5 minutes, invert onto a wire rack. Yield 2.5 dozen.
