Rolls

Here are the rolls Hannah requested. We usually had these for Sunday dinner growing up and always when we had company. Our mom taught us early on that when you have company and everyone seems to be done eating, pass around the rolls and meat again because people may want more. They always did want more of her rolls. Could be the butter...

1 T plus 1 t yeast dissolved in 1/2 c warm water and 1 t sugar
Beat:
3 eggs
1/2 c sugar
1 c warm water
2 t salt
1/2 c shortening (melted)
5 1/2 c flour

Knead and let rise twice its size then knead. Let rise again. Make into rolls and rise until twice its size.

Bake 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees

My mom and therefore my sisters and I make these in the parker house rolls style. Roll out, dip circles in melted butter, fold over. We also brush more melted butter on the top when they're straight out of the oven.
