Mother's Dinner Rolls

These tender rolls will melt in your mouth. Mom would set out her big square-footed honey bowl with them - some sweet butter and a drizzle of honey on these rolls is a special treat. -Willa Govoro, St. Clair, Missouri

30 ServingsPrep: 45 min. + chilling Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup boiling water
1 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
7-1/2 to 8 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Meanwhile, in a large
bowl, combine the boiling water, shortening, sugar and salt. Allow
to stand 3 to 4 minutes or until shortening is melted and sugar is
dissolved. Add the yeast mixture and eggs and mix well. Add 2 cups
of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a
soft dough (do not knead).
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and
refrigerate overnight. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Form a
2-1/2-in. ball. Roll into a 5-in. rope; shape into a knot. Repeat
with remaining dough.
Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place
until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes
or until golden brown. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
