Dinner Rolls

Mom's roll recipe: the best! When I make this recipe I usually halve it and make 2 dozen rolls out of it, but the original recipe will make 2-4 dozen rolls depending on how big you want them to be.

Ingredients:

2 3/4 c warm water
6 T sugar
2 T yeast
3 t salt
1 c dry milk powder
1/2-3/4 c yellow shortening (or vegetable oil)
2 eggs
~9 c white bread flour

Directions:

1. Pour water over sugar. Dissolve yeast. When foamy, add milk.

2. Alternate 1/2 c additions of flour with salt, eggs, fat and stir.

3. Knead 10 minutes with additional flour. Double. Punch, form into rolls and let rise on baking pans/dish until doubled again.

4. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Can put melted shortening on the tops of rolls to make them shiny while still hot.
