Refrigerator Yeast Rolls

Stir together yeast and warm water in a medium bowl; let mixture stand 5 minutes.
Stir together flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly; stir in yeast mixture and eggs just until blended.
(Do not overmix. ) Cover and chill 8 hours.
Roll dough to ¼-inch thickness on a well-floured surface (dough will be soft); cut with a 1½-inch round cutter.
Brush rounds evenly with melted butter.
Make a crease across each round with a knife, and fold in half; gently press edges to seal.
Place rolls in a 15- x 10-inch jelly-roll pan with sides touching.
Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
Bake at 400° for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.
