Recipe Introduction

(This has to be the most requested recipe in the family. Thanksgiving would not be complete in any of our homes without these rolls.) This is our favorite for 3 important reasons; (1) we like the results, (2) because the dough is chilled it is easier to determine the time to roll them out in order to eat exactly on schedule, (3) the work can be done ahead so that either on a Sunday or very busy day very little work is left to do.

List of Ingredients

1 Tbsp. yeast ( 1 pkg.)
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. salt
4-1/2 cups flour






Recipe

In a bowl large enough to allow ingredients to double, combine yeast, 1 Tbsp. sugar and warm water and allow to stand until dissolved. Meanwhile, scald milk, add shortening and cool t o lukewarm. Add milk mixture to yeast along with eggs, remaining sugar and salt. Stir in flour and then beat for 5 minutes or until dough no longer appears rough, but is smooth and large blisters appear as you beat. Cover the bowl with foil or a heavy plate and refrigerate until 3-1/2 hours before baking. Shape into rolls. This will make 3 - 9 inch circles for crescents.

Brush the tops with melted butter and allow to rise for 3 hours. Bake at 425 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Take care, they burn easily.
