2 pkgs. yeast
1 c. lukewarm water
1 tsp. sugar
1 c. milk, scalded
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 c. sugar
2 eggs well beaten
1/3 c. melted shortening, 1/2 butter
6 1/2 to 7 c. flour

Soften yeast in lukewarm water with 1 tsp. sugar, scald the milk, stir in salt and cool to lukewarm. When cooled stir in the yeast mixture combined with beaten egg. Add about 4 cups flour and beat until smooth. Add cooled, melted shortening and again beat smooth. Stir, knead in enough flour to make a smooth elastic but not too stiff dough.

Place in a lightly greased bowl, turn dough over, cover, let rise in a cozy place (85 degrees) about 1 hour until just double. Then turn out onto lightly floured board and shape into rolls.

Place in greased pans, cover and rise again in warm place until double, about 45 minutes. Bake rolls 15 to 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
