1 cake yeast or 1 pkg. dry yeast
1/2 c. milk, scalded and cooled
1/2 c. lukewarm water
1 tbsp. sugar
3 1/2 c. sifted flour
2 tbsp. melted shortening

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in lukewarm liquid. Add shortening and half the flour. Beat until smooth, then add the rest of flour, and salt, to make a moderately firm dough. Knead thoroughly. Roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter; fold over. Place in well greased shallow pan a slight distance apart.

Cover and set to rise about 2 hours, or until double in size. When light, bake 10 minutes in a hot oven. Makes about 2 dozen.
