All Over but the Nap! - Feather Rolls / Aunt Frances's Rolls

Over too quick! All that work and it's over in a flash. Wow, we had a delicious meal, and four generations participated. We used many of Mother's recipes and I had wonderful helpers in my daughters, daughters-in-law, sons, and granddaughters. Here are the two roll recipes we used today. The Feather Rolls were the ones that Mother always made. Aunt Frances's recipe is the recipe that I have used for years because it's easy and makes delicious rolls.

FEATHER ROLLS
2 yeast cakes [5 tsp.]
1/2 cup warm water
1 tbsp. sugar
1 cup scalded milk
1/3 cup melted shortening
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 eggs well beaten
4 or 5 cups flour unsifted
Mix yeast, warm water & sugar & let stand 20 min. Add to milk when cool & shortening, salt, eggs. Add flour. Dough will be sticky. Put in refrigerator over night. Two hours before serving take out & knead for 10 min. Lightly spread with butter. Cut like jelly roll 1" slices. Put in muffin tins. Let rise 2 hours. Bake 10 min. 425°F. Beulah says use water instead of milk and let dough rise once before refrigerating.
