Ingredients
  • 1 cup Scalded milk
  • 1 package Yeast
  • 2 tablespoons Shortening
  • 2 large Eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Directions
  1. 1
    Heat milk until scalding hot, then cool slightly until warm to the touch. Stir in shortening, salt, and sugar until dissolved.
  2. 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. 3
    Add the yeast mixture and beaten eggs to the cooled milk mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. 4
    Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface.
  5. 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. 6
    Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 12 equal pieces and shape into smooth rolls.
  7. 7
    Place rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  8. 8
    Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. 9
    Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter if desired. Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
