My Grandma's yeast rolls were always requested at family get-togethers. They're delicious and I cherish the memories I have of baking them with her. Ingredients:
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast |
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees f (43 degrees c)) |
1 cup milk |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup vegetable shortening |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 egg |
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbles begin to form, but the milk is not simmering. Stir in the sugar, shortening, and salt; set aside until cooled to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and set aside for 5 minutes.
2. Beat the egg in a mixing bowl, then stir in the yeast and milk. Stir in half of the flour until no lumps remain, then stir in the remaining flour a little at a time until a smooth dough forms. Place into a greased bowl, turn once to grease the top, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
3. Grease a 12 sectioned muffin tin. Deflate the dough, and place onto a well-floured work surface. Divide the dough into 36 pieces, and form into balls. Place 3 balls into each muffin cup. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
4. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
