1 pkg. (1 scant tbsp.) dry yeast
2 c. warm water
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 c.) butter, melted
1/3 c. sugar
1 egg, beaten
4 c. self-rising flour

Place yeast in 2 cups warm water. Set aside. Melt butter, add to sugar in large bowl. Add beaten egg and dissolved yeast mixture, add flour and stir until thoroughly mixed. To cook, drop by spoonfuls into well greased 2 1/2 inch muffin tins and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Better if dough is made the day before. Makes 2 dozen. This dough keeps for days in refrigerator. Stir down lightly before using.
