Pineapple Rolls

One of my Grandma Matthews' recipes.

1 cup lard
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups water (lukewarm)
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. yeast, dissolved in 1/2 cup of the warm water
Beat eggs in crock; add sugar, and lard. Cream all together; add salt and water and yeast and enough flour to make a soft dough, just so you can handle . Let rise for several hours til light. Pat out in round roll about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutter. Put tsp. of pineapple filling in center of each and bake at once.
Filling
1 --10 cent can of crushed pineapple ( You will just have to guess what size that is now) Ha!
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 heaping Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt.
Cook to thick paste.
Frost with powdered sugar icing while hot.
