"My beloved grandmother made the best bread and rolls. She'd often have a batch of these heavenly rolls waiting for us when we got off the school bus. As many times as I've made these rolls, they never live up to the ones my Gram made. I shape mine into crescent shape-- but you can shape them as you please. Cooking time includes the time to let the dough raise."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Dissolve yeast and 2 t. sugar in warm water and let rise - be sure to use a large enough container.

Step 2

Add remaining sugar, shortening and salt to scalded milk and stir to dissolve.*

Step 3

Add flour to milk mixture until it starts to fall off in sheets (usually after about 1 cup of flour). At this point, add the eggs and yeast. Mix well and begin adding the additional flour until dough reaches the desired consistency. Knead

Step 4

Lightly spray a bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turn so the top has some of the spray on it, and let rise until doubled.

Step 5

Shape into rolls of your choice, and place on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet (I use parchment paper) and let rise again.

Step 6

Bake in a preheated 400 oven (not lower than the middle rack) for approximately 10 minutes.

Step 7

* At this point I place the milk mixture into my KitchenAid and finish it off in there.

The smell from the oven had me wishing they would hurry up and get done! I made round rolls, tucking the roll under and putting the first one in the pan, then adding each one around the one in the middle. They rose beautifully and they tasted fantastic!

I'm really not much of a professional baker but I do enjoy making homemade bread and rolls when the weather is cooler and I have the time, these turned out perfect which sometimes doesn't happen when I make buns, thank you very much for your perfect recipe!

These rolls went so well with my fried chicken, mashed potatoes and coleslaw. What a great addition to my menu!
