List of Ingredients

2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 packages active dry yeast
6 cups flour, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, melted


Recipe

Combine milk, sugar and shortening in a saucepan; heat until shortening melts, stirring occasionally. Cool to 105-115¼F. Add yeast; stir until dissolved. Let stand 5 minutes. Combine yeast mixture and 2 cups flour in a large bowl. (Mixture will be consistency of thin batter.) Cover loosely, and let rise in a warm place (85¼F) free from drafts for 2 hours.

Combine remaining 4 cups flour, salt, baking powder and soda; add to batter, stirring until dough pulls away from the sides of bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Let dough stand, covered, at room temperature until soft (2 to 2 1/2 hours). Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface; roll to 1/2" thickness. Cut with a floured 1 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place rolls on ungreased baking sheets, leaving 1" of space between rolls; brush with melted butter. Cover loosely and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 400¼F. Bake rolls, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes 64 rolls.
