Granny's Rolls

I have something we all thought we had lost...Granny's rolls (Margie's grandmother).  I found it in Nana's old recipe book.

I think the secret ingredient is the Crisco!

1 cake yeast

1/4 cup warm water to dissolve the yeast, let sit 10 min

1 cup milk, scalded

3 T. sugar

3 T. Crisco

1 tsp salt

Combine and cool until lukewarm

Add 1 cup flour, beat well

Add 1 egg and yeast mixture, beat well

Add 2 1/2 cups flour

Cover to rise for 2 hours.  Roll out and cut circles, brush with butter and fold.

Rise for 30-45 min 

Cook at 400 for 15-20 min.

All of us old enough to remember these famous rolls know what we almost lost.
