Croissant Rolls

By kawaibaby

Ingredients

• 1 package of dry yeast
• 3/4 c. scalded milk*
• 1/4 c. shortening
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 Egg
• 3 c. flour
• To scald milk in the microwave, pour the milk in a plastic or glass microwave-safe bowl.
• Place a chopstick, bamboo skewer or other microwavable tool in the milk. This will break the surface and prevent the milk from super-heating beyond 212° F without boiling. This is a good thing since super-heated liquids can cause serious burns.
• Microwave the milk on high for 3-4 minutes or just until the milk begins to boil. Use pot holders to carefully remove the hot bowl from the microwave and place it on a hotplate. The “scalded” milk is now ready for use.
