In a small saucepan, combine shortening and milk. Heat until shortening is melted; set aside to cool.

Divide dough into fourths, and on a floured surface, roll out into 1/2-inch thick circles.
Spread the surface with soft butter. Cut each circle like a pie into 8 triangles, and roll up from larger to the small end.
Place rolls point side down on a baking sheet and allow to rise until doubled, 3 to 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake rolls for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
Serve and enjoy.
