Hot Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups hot water (about 110 degrees)
1/2 cup sugar (spenda also works well)
1/4 cup shortening (melted, I've used butter flavor and it is good)
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 egg, lightly beated
6 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation

Mix yeast in water and let stand about 10 minutes.
Add sugar, melted shortening and salt and mix well.
Add egg to mixture.
Stir in 4-5 cups of flour.
Place on a flour surface and knead in the remaining cup of flour.
Knead about 10 minutes.
Put in large greased bowel and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down and form into dinner rolls and place sides touching in a 9x13 greased pan.
Let rise again until double, about 1 hours.
Bake at 350 degrees 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
