1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 c. very warm water
1/4 c. sugar
1 slightly beaten egg
1/4 c. shortening
1 tsp. salt
1 c. scalded milk
3 1/2 c. sifted flour

Soften active yeast in water, combine sugar, and salt; stir in hot milk cool to lukewarm; add egg and 2 cups flour, beat well; add remaining flour enough to make soft dough. Cover let rise 1 1/2 hours. Pinch down turn out on lightly floured surface. Shape into desired rolls. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Refrigerate dough for easier handling after rising.
