Icebox Rolls

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 15 min. YIELD: 36 rolls.
I remember my mom making these rolls almost every Saturday so they'd be ready to bake on Sunday for company or someone just dropping by. Although they take a little time to prepare, they're really not all that difficult to make. And there's nothing in the stores that can compare to them! —Jean Fox, Welch, Minnesota

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 2-1/2 cups water, divided
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 8-1/2 to 9 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

  • 1. Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (110°-115°). In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup boiling water and shortening. Add remaining (room-temperature) water, eggs, salt, sugar and yeast mixture.
  • 2. Stir in 1 cup of flour at a time, mixing well after each addition, until a soft dough forms. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • 3. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough into nine portions. Divide and shape each portion into 12 balls. Place 3 balls in each cup of 3 greased muffin tins. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • 4. Preheat oven to 375°. Brush rolls with half of melted butter; bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven; brush with remaining butter.
