Home Made Rolls


This is my mother in law's recipe and she makes them most Sundays are they areamazing. So I was finally brave enough (and had enough time) to try them out.  They were definitely time consuming, but well worth it.
After eating one right out of the oven with some strawberry jam, I called Ryan at work and told him I was bringing him some, I guess I was just that proud of the them :)

2 c. scalding milk                                                    1 c. sugar
1 c. butter or margarine                                          6 eggs (beaten)
1 c. warm water                                                    3/4 T. salt
3 T. yeast

Mix scalding milk with butter.  As that cools mix warm water, yeast and sugar together and let foam.  Mix all wet ingredients together, adding eggs and salt.  Add enough flour to make a sticky dough.  Cover and let rise double (about an hour). Punch down. Then shape your dinner rolls (or you can use this recipe for cinnamon or orange rolls) and place on greased cookie sheet.  Cover and let rise until doubled.  Bake at 350 until light brown, about 15 min.
*This recipe makes 5-6 dozen rolls depending on the size of roll, so I did 1/3 the recipe.. Just adjust accordingly.
