1/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. shortening
1 egg
1 pkg. yeast
1/2 c. boiling water
1/2 c. lukewarm water
1 tsp. salt
About 3 1/2 or 4 cups sifted flour

Cream sugar and shortening. Add salt and well-beaten egg, then pour the hot water over this. Dissolve yeast in warm water and when both mixtures are cool, mix together well. Mix in the flour thoroughly to make a soft dough, cover tightly and store in refrigerator. This can be kept for as long as a week and used when needed. When ready to make into rolls, knead well, roll out, cut and put melted butter on one half of one side and fold over to make roll. Let rise slowly for about 2 hours. Cook at 400 degrees and just before they begin to brown, brush tops with melted butter.
