The Best Dinner Rolls

The Best Dinner Rolls Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine: 2 cups milk ½ cup shortening (can replace for applesauce) ½ cup sugar Bring to a boil, then cool In a small bowl, combine: 1 cup lukewarm water 2 heaping Tbsp. Yeast 2 tsp. sugar Set aside and let dissolve. 2 ½ tsp. salt 3 beaten eggs 7-9 cups flour Directions: When the milk mixture has cooled to lukewarm, pour into mixer. Add a cup of flour, all of the yeast mixture, salt and three beaten eggs.   Beat until smooth.   Add flour a little at a time while mixing until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl but is not stiff. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray, and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in size.   Punch down, cover, and let rise again until doubled in size. After dough has risen a second time, divide in half.   Place on a floured board or counter.   Roll out until ½ inch thick, and cut into circles.   Place on a greased cookie sheet so rolls are almost touching.   Let rise about 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
