Cornmeal Parker House Rolls

My mom deserves the credit for making this recipe a family tradition. These sweet tender rolls have been on every holiday table at her house for as long as I can remember.

30 ServingsPrep: 40 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups 2% milk
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 eggs
4-1/2 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the sugar, cornmeal and
salt. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat,
stirring constantly. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 5-10 minutes or
until thickened. Cool to 110°-115°.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add eggs and cornmeal
mixture. Beat in enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a
floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let
rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll out to
1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter.
Brush with melted butter.

Directions (continued)

Using the dull edge of a table knife, make an off-center crease in
each roll. Fold along crease so the large half is on top; press
along folded edge. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover
and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with
melted butter. Remove from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
