My Favorite Dinner Roll - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water
1 c. boiling water
1/3 c. vegetable shortening
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt

Preparation

Soften yeast in the 1/4 cup warm water.
Combine boiling water, shortening, sugar and salt.
Cool to lukewarm and add yeast.
Stir in beaten egg.
Add dry milk.
Beat in as much flour as possible and then continue to add enough to make a soft dough, kneading 8 to 10 minutes.
Put into a large bowl that has been oiled, turning dough to coat it all over.
Cover and let rise in a warm place (85\u00b0) until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
