3 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. honey
1 pkg. dry yeast
1 tbsp. softened butter
1 c. water

Set yeast working in a 1/4 cup of water (warmed to tepid). Add 1 teaspoon of honey to the yeast and water. When the yeast is frothy, add it to 1/2 of the flour. Then add the softened butter, the rest of the honey and the rest of the water. On a floured board, knead the dough until smooth, adding more flour to prevent sticking.

Put the dough into a greased bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled in bulk. Punch down and roll the dough out. Pinch off a piece of dough the size of a golf ball and make it into a ball. Do this until all the dough is in balls. Put the balls on greased baking sheets. Leave to rise until doubled in bulk. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes. Rub surface of each roll immediately after taking them out of the oven.
