4 c. flour
1 c. hot water
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. dry yeast
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. lukewarm water
1 egg

Sift flour, then measure. In a separate bowl, pour hot water over sugar, salt and butter; stir until butter is melted. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the 2 tablespoons warm water and add to the butter mixture. Add 1 cup flour, gradually beating until smooth. Add egg and remaining flour to make a soft dough. Put in refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Take out; press down to release air. Shape into walnut size balls. Put in pan and place in a warm place until they are doubled in size.

Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes.
