I've made these often for Sunday dinner, and they are delicious! There's nothing like homemade rolls to top off a meal.

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup sugar divided
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup shortening
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 egg, beaten
3-3/4 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
Melted butter
Poppy seeds

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Beat in milk, shortening, salt, egg and remaining sugar. Add 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 the dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 18 pieces. Shape into balls. Place in greased muffin cups. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Brush tops with butter; sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake at 375° for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.
