Stir in cooled milk mixture and eggs; mix well. Add 3 cups flour, mixing well. Add remaining 3 cups flour and mix well. Turn dough out on a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled in bulk (about 1 1/2 hours). Punch dough down. Shape into 3/4-inch balls. Place 3 in each cup of well-greased muffin pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Yield: About 2 1/2 dozen.
