Grandma's Homemade Dinner Roll Recipe
Ingredients
3/4 c milk
1/2 c shortening
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp salt
2 pkg dry yeast
1/2 c warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
41/2-43/4 c flour
2 eggs
Scald milk in a saucepan; add shortening, sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm.
Sprinkle yeast on warm water; stir to dissolve.
Add 1 ½ cups of flour to milk mixture; beat well with a wooden spoon. Beat in eggs and yeast.
Gradually stir in enough remaining flour, a little at a time, to make a soft dough that leaves the sides of the bowl. Dough will be slightly sticky. Turn onto lightly floured board; knead, adding a little more flour as necessary, until smooth, satiny, and no longer sticky, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Place in lightly greased bowl, invert to grease top, cover and let rise until doubled, 1 to 1 ½ hours. Punch down and turn onto board. Divide in half and shape as desired.
Brush tops lightly with melted butter; let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes. Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Her note on the page read: Makes good cinnamon rolls. I have never made cinnamon rolls so I decided to give it a try. I divided the dough in half and made cinnamon rolls out of the other half. They turned out wonderful and delicious and I will post the recipe for Grandma Delsie's Cinnamon Rolls at another time.
