Homemade Rolls- The Best!

This is the recipe my Mom and Grandma use for our Thanksgiving rolls.  They are delicious and are always eaten up.  They are terrific for leftover turkey sandwiches too.  After a couple days, pop them in the microwave and they soften right up.

Mix together and let sit until bubbly: 2 pkg yeast (or a little under 2 Tbs.)
                                                          1/2 C. warm water

Melt together on stove or in microwave: 1 1/2 C. milk
                                                                1/2 C. shortening (I did 1/4 C. shortening, 1/4 C. salted butter)
(Make sure this is lukewarm when you add the other ingredients to it so that it doesn't kill the yeast when that step is added.)

To the above milk mixture, add 1/2 C. sugar, 3 tsp. salt and 3 C. flour (I added 1 C. wheat flour, 2 C. white flour).

Then add 3 beaten eggs.

Add 1 C. flour and yeast mixture to the above.

Keep adding flour until you have a sticky dough (not too sticky though).

Let raise until double.

Roll out dough and cut into circles.  Then dip half of the middle in butter and fold over onto itself.  Then put on pan (greased) and pinch ends together.

Let raise until double in pan.

Cook at 350 8-10 min until golden brown.  Spread butter on top of warm rolls.  Enjoy!
