Time 1h22m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar
1 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup lard or shortening
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 to 2 packs yeast
1 cup warm water
5 cups flour

Steps:

  • Mix together well the sugar, potatoes, lard, eggs, and salt.
  • Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup warm water; then add that to the above mixture.
  • Stir in about 3 cups flour. Add the remaining 2 cups flour while kneading. Knead until the dough is no longer sticky but moist.
  • Let rise until doubled.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Roll out dough to a 3/4 to 1-inch thickness. Cut into bun shapes with a jar or doughnut cutter (or cloverleaf or crescent-shaped cutter) and pour on greased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Let them rise until puffy but not doubled (they should not be touching).
  • Brush with milk. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 12 minutes.
