1 c milk
1/2 c sugar
1 cake compressed yeast
4 1/2 c flour
1/2 c butter
1 tsp salt
3 beaten eggs

Heat milk to scalding. Add shortening, sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Add yeast and stir until dissolved. Add eggs and flour; mix to a smooth, soft dough. Knead lightly on floured surface. Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in moderately warm place until double in size.

Divide dough in thirds. Roll each third on lightly floured surface to the size of a 9 inch pie pan. Cut each round in and form 12 to 16 wedges. Roll each triangle, starting with wide end and ending at center. Arrange on greased baking sheet and let rise until very light.

Bake in a 400°F oven for 15 minutes.

Yields 4 dozen.
