Something Yummy for Saturday


These rolls are wonderful.  Not as convenient as the ones you get out of the tubes in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. And this is not a recipe for someone who does not know how to cook as you have to know what you are doing.

There wasn't any "how to" information in the copy of "Ma's" recipe we found. "Ma" also used this for cinnamon rolls.
1     compressed   Yeast cake
1     T                Sugar
1     cup              Milk, lukewarm
1/2  scant cup      Shortening
1/2  scant cup      Sugar
3     well beaten   Eggs
1/2  tsp              Salt
4     cups            Flour
Procedure
1   Grease tins (?) the recipe didn't say what kind of tins.
2   In a large bowl mix yeast cake, sugar and milk.
3   Stir until liquid.
4   Add lukewarm milk.
5   Add shortening, sugar, eggs, salt, and flour. "Makes a soft dough but stiff enough to knead.
6   (Jean Bates places the dough on a greased board in the morning)
7   Let rise.
8   Knead a little.
9   Cut in half.
10 Roll each piece as nearly round as possible, about ¼ inches in thickness.
11 Cut like a pie into 16 pieces.
12 Beginning at wide end roll up each roll towards the small end.
13 Put in a buttered tins.
14 Bake.
Oven Temperature: 375°F
