Sweet Yeast Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups milk (scalded)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup shortening (I use Crisco)
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope yeast
1/2 cup warm water
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Preparation

First add the baking soda and sugar to the hot milk & then add the shortening to the milk mixture & cool.
Put the yeast into the warm water to dissolve.
Sift the flour, salt and baking powder. When the milk is cool, add the yeast mixture to the milk, then mix with the flour. Cover with a towel; let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled.
Stir the batter well then beat vigorously for about 30 seconds. Form into to rolls about 2 hours before baking.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
You can also fill greased muffin-pan cups about two-thirds full.
Prep time includes proofing time.
