2 cakes or pkg. yeast
2 c. lukewarm water
1/2 c. shortening, melted (lard or butter)
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt
3 eggs
6 1/2 c. flour or enough to make easily handled dough

Soften yeast in water, add sugar, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat by hand or electric mixer until smooth. Add shortening and eggs and beat well again. If using mixer, beat in another cup flour. Then stir in remaining flour or enough to make an easily handled dough. Knead well and place in a greased bowl. Cover and set in a warm place to rise until more than doubled in size, (two hours or longer.) Shape into rolls and place in a well greased pan.

Cover and let rise until light (20 to 30 minutes). Bake in 375 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Makes 2 1/2 to 3 dozen rolls. Dough can be used for making cinnamon rolls.
