Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water (110 degrees F (43 degrees C))
1 cup milk
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbles begin to form, but the milk is not simmering. Stir in the sugar, shortening, and salt; set aside until cooled to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and set aside for 5 minutes.
Beat the egg in a mixing bowl, then stir in the yeast and milk. Stir in half of the flour until no lumps remain, then stir in the remaining flour a little at a time until a smooth dough forms. Place into a greased bowl, turn once to grease the top, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
Grease a 12 sectioned muffin tin. Deflate the dough, and place onto a well-floured work surface. Divide the dough into 36 pieces, and form into balls. Place 3 balls into each muffin cup. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

When I was a girl, it was a rare occasion when Mom made a gourmet meal. Most often, she relied on traditional recipes like this one. My sister and I ate more than our share of these versatile golden rolls. -Brenda DuFresne, Midland, Michigan
