SIDE DISH

Rich Dinner Rolls, American

Ingredients

• ½ cup scalded milk
• ¼ cup butter
• 2 T. sugar
• 1 ½ t. salt
• ½ cup warm water
• 1 pkg. compressed or granular yeast
• 1 egg
• 3 c. sifted flour

Preparation Instructions

Combine milk, butter, sugar and salt. Add water. Then add yeast (dissolved according to package instructions). Mix well. Blend in the egg. Gradually add flour. Mix until dough is well blended and soft. Shape dough into tolls on a well floured board.

If dough is to be chilled, place in a greased bowl, cover and store in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Remove. Let rise about 1 ½ to 2 hours in a warm place. For unchilled dough, let rise in a warm place until double in bulk. Bake in a 350˚ to 400˚ oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until done.
