The Best Rolls, No Arguments (Mum's Famous Rolls)

Because I love you all, I will post my mother's roll recipe. Now, I know for a fact that very few people have tried these that read this blog. But I challenge you to find a roll that tastes better. Go ahead and try, I dare you.

1 tbls yeast
1/4 c warm water
2 eggs
2 c scalded milk
1/2 c butter
1 1/2 tsp salt (or a little less with salted butter)
1/2 c sugar
6 c flour

1. In a bowl put yeast and warm water together, let that dissolve. Only stir a little at the beginning then let dissolve. Go ahead and stir before adding to other mixtures.
2. Milk, butter, salt, sugar mixed together. Make  sure it is warm, not hot, and then add eggs.
3. Stir until well blended.
4. Stir in 3 c flour, beat until smooth after each cup of flour.
5. Add in 2 more cups of flour.
6. Sprinkle third cup of flour on counter and knead it into bread dough.
7. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Place in a warm place to let it double in size.
8. Let rise, and then punch down. Allow to rise again (for a more fluffy roll).
9. Roll out dough. Use the open side of a cup to cut out rolls. Butter both sides of the rolls (I never said they were healthy). Use a knife to crease the center of your circle and then fold the circle along that line. Place on a cookie sheet.
10. Place the rolls so they have a little room to rise and allow them to do so before you place them in the oven.
11. Back on 400 until golden brown (about 15 to 20 minutes).
12. When rolls come out of the oven, butter the top and enjoy!
