3/4c. sugar
1c. hot water
2 eggs
2T. dry yeast
2c. lukewarm water
7&1/2-8c. flour
1t. salt
Melt the shortening (DO NOT BOIL). Add sugar and cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Stir in to sugar/shortening mix. Add eggs and hot water. Stir well. Sift flour and salt, then add, blending until dough becomes sticky. Gradually add remaining flour just to take stickiness out. Knead lightly and place dough in a warm place to rise for about 2 hours. Punch down and shape into rolls. Place rolls on greased baking sheet and let rise 1&1/2 hours. Bake at 400℉ for 10-12 min. or until golden brown. Makes 5 dozen rolls.
* To shape crescents, divide the dough into two balls. Shape and cut like a large round pizza. Roll triangles from the wide end to the pointed end. Place on cooking sheet with pointed end tucked under.
