Sprinkle yeast in water, let dissolve. Combine shortening, sugar, salt in large bowl. Add scalded milk, stir until shortening melts. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in eggs & yeast, mix well. Add flour, stirring to make a stiff dough. Knead until smooth and satiny, 5 to 8 minutes. Place dough in a well greased bowl, turning to cover all sides. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll into a rectangle. Spread with filling. Roll up jelly-roll fashion, seal edges. Cut into 1" - 2" slices, place on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise again. When doubled in size, about 30 - 45 minutes. Bake @ 375 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes. While warm spread with glaze.
Glaze: Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. (Add milk slowly until of desired consistency.)
