Sweet rolls

Ingredients/Components

• sugar - 1 c
• eggs - 4 item
• salt - 1 tsp
• flour - 8 9
• shortening - 3/4 c
• yeast - 2 pkg
• very warm water - 1/2 c
• milk, scalded and cooled - 2 c

How to make sweet rolls:

Scald milk and add sugar and salt in right away (helps cool milk). In a large glass, combine yeast, water and sugar. Let set 5 minutes at least.

Combine the milk mixture and yeast mixture when milk mixture has cooled and yeast has worked. Blend with mixer 2 1/2 to 3 cups flour to make a sponge. Cover and let rise until double.

While rising, beat 4 eggs. Melt and cool shortening. Mix and stir into dough. When risen and bubbly, stir in an additional 5 1/2 to 6 cups flour. Should be a little sticky but able to handle with greased fingers. Form into rolls and place on greased sheets. Let rise again and bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes.
