Hot Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 oz. yeast
1/2 c. warm water
1/2 c. sugar
2 c. scalded milk
1/2 c. plus 1 Tbsp. shortening
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
6 to 8 c. flour
1/4 c. melted butter

Preparation

Mix yeast with a little of the sugar and dissolve in warm water. Set aside. Dissolve 1/2 cup shortening, sugar and salt in hot milk, then allow to cool. Add eggs to mixture, then add 1 cup flour and beat until mixture is smooth. Add yeast mixture and beat until blended. Continue to beat as you add flour, a little at a time, until dough is elastic and cleans easily from hands. Form into a smooth ball; brush with melted shortening and let rise until it is doubled in size. Form into walnut size balls.
Place 2 balls in each greased muffin cup in pan.
Let rise again until doubled in size. Bake at 450\u00b0 for 15 or 20 minutes.
Brush with butter as soon as rolls are taken from the oven.
