Mom's Roll Recipe

Mom's Yummy Rolls

1 pkg. (or 1 tablespoon) Rapid Rise yeast
3 eggs
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup sugar
1 cube butter or margarine
1/3 cup powdered milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
3.5-4 cups flour

Start by beating 3 eggs until frothy. Then, add 1 cup hot water, 1 cube melted butter or margarine, and 1/2 cup sugar. Mix well.

In another bowl, mix 1.5 cups flour and yeast. Add 1/3 cup of powdered milk and 3/4 tsp. salt. Mix well.

Add to liquid and beat with a mixer on high speed for 4-5 minutes. Then, begin adding flour usually 1/2 cup at a time until too much for mixer. Continue adding flour until you have a soft dough that is just a little sticky. Should be about 3.5 - 4 cups flour total.

Raise for about 2 hours. I turn the oven on as low as possible, usually 170, let get warm and then turn right off. This helps the yeast get going. Dough should double in size, at least.

Form into rolls by rolling out until about 1/4 inch thick, brushing top with butter, and then cutting with a glass and rolling over finger. Make sure to seal and put end underneath so it stays sealed.

Let raise in formed rolls for about 45 minutes more.

Bake at 375 for 7 minutes. Make sure not to bake too long because the bottoms get browned quickly after this amount of time. Although the time does vary by oven.
