By Renna

Ingredients

• 1/2 C solid vegetable shortening
• 1/2 C Sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 pkg fast acting yeast
• 5 C all purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 stick butter or margarine, melted
• 1 1/2 C warm water (like a baby’s bath temperature)

Preparation

Step 1

Place sugar, salt, 2 cups of flour, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with a long tined fork.
Add eggs, beating lightly with fork before stirring them in. Add remaining flour, melted butter and water. Stir well. Mixture will be lumpy.
Cover with dish towel and let sit in warm place for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, turn out on a floured surface. Sprinkle flour over the top and knead three or four times.
Pat out into a square that is about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into squares with a pizza cutter.
Place in greased 9×13 pan and cover with towel. Let rise another 20 minutes. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes, or until tops are golden.
Brush hot rolls with additional melted butter.
