• 2 tbsps dry yeast
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tsps salt
• 3 eggs
• 4-1/2- 5 cups flour

Mix the  yeast into 1/2 cup of warm water and set aside to proof

In a saucepan, combine the sugar, shortening, milk and salt and heat  until the shortening is all melted.  Pour mixture into a bowl and let cool to room temp.

In the shortening mixture, put 1-1/2 cups of the flour and mix well.  Add the yeast and then the eggs and mix well till smooth.  Stir in enough remaining flour’to make a not too soft dough.  Please in a greased bowl, cover and let rise about 1-1/2 hours.  Punch down and let rest about 5 minutes

Form dough into small balls and put 3 in each compartment of a well buttered muffin pan.  Let rise till double.  Brush generously with butter.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Enjoy warm!
