Dissolve completely one cake of dry yeast in one cup of warm water. Place in large pan and add:

2 tbsp. sugar
1 slightly beaten egg
2/3 c. milk
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. melted shortening

Gradually add small amount of flour to this mixture until you have used about 4 1/2 cups. While adding the small amounts of flour, add also 2 tablespoons of beer at a time until you have used 6 tablespoons of beer. Mix thoroughly after each addition. Do not use too much flour. When dough is just dry enough to knead, and it should be slightly moist, knead until bubbles appear in the dough.

Then dip entire batch of dough in melted butter, cover and let rise for 1 1/2 hours in a warm place. Roll out dough and make rolls of your choice, Parkerhouse or cloverleaf. Let them rise in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours.

Bake in 475 degrees oven until they are brown. You had better keep a sharp eye on them because they bake quickly (the quicker, the better). This makes about 30 Parkerhouse rolls or 18 clover leaf rolls.
