Granny's Yeast Rolls

By Thom7747

Good rolls. My family will eat them as bread during the meal and then turn right around and eat them with jelly for dessert.

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour, sifted
• 1 1/2 teaspoons soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/3 cup shortening
• 1 cube yeast, or packet dry yeast
• 1/4 cup water, lukewarm
• 6 tablespoons vinegar, plus enough whole milk to make 3/4 cup of liquid

Preparation

Step 1

Sift flour, baking soda, salt and sugar together and cut in shortening.
1. Soften yeast in lukewarm water.
2. Heat vinegar and milk to lukewarm and combine with yeast.
3. Add liquid to dry ingredients gradually and stir only until flour is blended.
4. Dough should be as soft as can be handled.
5. Turn onto lightly floured board, knead gently one minute.
6. Shape as desired and place onto lightly floured lightly greased baking pan.
7. Let rise about an hour until doubled in bulk in warm place.

Bake at 400º for about 15 minutes.
