2 tbsp. shortening
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. dry yeast
1/4 c. lukewarm water (110-115 degrees)
1 well beaten egg
3 1/2 c. flour

Combine milk, shortening, sugar, and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Add yeast that has been dissolved in warm water. Add egg. Gradually stir in flour to form soft dough. Beat vigorously.
