MOM'S MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water and add 1 tablespoon sugar and baking powder. Allow to stand for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile scald milk. Add margarine, 1/3 cup sugar and salt. Cool a little and then add eggs. (I do this step in my 4 c glass measure in the microwave.).
• Combine all with flour. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (The dough will more than double in bulk, so make sure your container is big enough. If it looks like it might outgrow its bowl, you can always punch it down once or twice without any ill effects.).
• Two hours before serving, divide dough into thirds and roll out into large circles about 9 inches in diameter on a floured surface. The dough will be sticky, but don't worry. It will quickly come together and handle really well with a few sprinklings of flour (not too much). Cut into 8 wedges and make crescent rolls by starting at the wide end and rolling up. Place on greased pans to rise, covered with clean towels.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Mom always rubbed the hot rolls with a stick of butter when they came out of the oven, and I do, too. It makes them so beautiful.

HOMEMADE HOT ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Stir sugar, salt, and half of the flour into the yeast mixture.
• Beat in the eggs and shortening.
• Add the remaining flour and beat until smooth.
• Scrape down the sides of bowl, and cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place, until doubled in bulk (approx. 30 minutes).
• Stir down the dough.
• Add more sifted flour until it can be worked with hands (just add gradually until it feels right).
• Knead a few times, not a lot; just get it worked in and ready to pinch off into rolls.
• Pinch the rolls off (medium sized), and place in a greased pan.
• It may take two pans; one small, and one larger, for all the dough.
• You can also make loaves of bread out of it.
• Allow it to rise again, until doubled in bulk.
• Bake at 375-400 for 15-20 minutes .
• When done, brush with butter (while hot).
• Note: You can also use this recipe to make bread loaves (it should make 2 loaves in traditional bread pans), or cinnamon rolls.
• For the cinnamon rolls, roll the dough out, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, and roll up like a jelly roll.
• Slice off, place in a baking pan, and bake at the same temperature as the rolls, until done.
• Coat with frosting made with powdered sugar, milk, and a dash of vanilla.
