Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 tsp yeast (or 1 packet)
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 5 cups flour

Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, stir in yeast and 1 cup of warm water until the yeast dissolves. Add the other cup of water.
  2. Add shortning, sugar and salt. Stir vigorously and mash the lumps of shortning against the side of the bowl as you sift in the flour one cup at a time.
  3. Stir until the dough is firm.
  4. Smooth down and cover with cloth or lid - let rise until double in size ( about 1-1/2-2 hours). DO NOT GET TOO WARM OR SIT ON A HOT STOVE TOP.(I turn my oven on 250 for ONE minute, then turn it OFF - and let them rise in the warm oven).
  5. When dough has doubled dump out onto a floured board or coutertop, knead lightly until you can cut or pinch into rolls.
  6. Place in a greased pan and let rise again, approximately 1-1/2 - 2 hours. Cook until browned, brush with butter and eat.
