Mother's Dinner Rolls
|
 |
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
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 to 25 minutes or
until golden brown.
Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
