Standard Roll Recipe - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cake yeast
1/4 c. water
2 c. scalded milk
1 1/2 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. sugar
6 c. sifted flour (enough to make a tender dough)
4 Tbsp. shortening

Preparation

If a greater amount of sugar is used, the rolls will be sweeter.
If a greater amount of shortening is used, the rolls will be richer and more tender.
Not less than 2 or more than 8 tablespoons of sugar or shortening should be used, however, follow general directions for making bread, kneading in a little less flour and permitting the dough to become lighter during each rising process, both after it is shaped and before the rolls are placed in the oven.
