Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat milk until scalding hot, then cool slightly until warm to the touch. Stir in shortening, salt, and sugar until dissolved.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add the yeast mixture and beaten eggs to the cooled milk mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface.
  5. Knead dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 12 equal pieces and shape into smooth rolls.
  7. Place rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  8. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter if desired. Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
