Grandma Statom's Yeast Rolls

By

An easy, almost foolproof recipe and very tasty.

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. dry yeast
  • 1 c warm water
  • 1/4 c sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3 1/2 c sifted flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 c shortening

Preparation

Step 1

In warm water dissolve yeast. Add sugar, salt and 1/2 of flour. Beat thoroughly with mixer for 2 minutes. Add egg and melted shortening. Beat in the rest of the flour gradually until smooth dough. Cover w/damp cloth and refrigerate. Punch down after two hours, or can be left over night in refrigerator before baking, punch down and make into rolls and put on baking sheet. I usually use my cupcake pan or 9 x 13 cake pan. Let rise for 2 hours and bake at 400 for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush top with butter.
