1/3 c. shortening
2 tbsp. sugar
1 c. milk, scalded
1/4 c. lukewarm water

Crumble yeast into small bowl. Add lukewarm water and 1 teaspoon sugar, set in warm place until light and spongy (about 15 minutes).

Combine shortening, salt and 2 tablespoons sugar in large bowl, add scalded milk and water. Stir until shortening is melted and cool to lukewarm. Add this to yeast mixture. Add flour gradually mixing well.
