1 cake yeast dissolved in 1/4 c. water
1 c. scalded milk, cooled to lukewarm
1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs, well beaten
1/2 c. melted shortening (butter improves the flavor, of course!)
4 1/2 c. or more flour
1 to 1 1/2 tsp. salt, to taste

Mix all together. Knead. Let rise twice. Divide dough into 2 parts. Roll out as you would a pie crust. Cut into 16 pieces (as you would cut a pie). Roll from wide end to the point. Bake in a moderately hot 375 degree oven, about 12- 15 minutes.
