Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup shortening
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 1.5 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 4.5 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine shortening and milk. Heat until shortening is melted; set aside to cool. Dissolve the yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in the warm water. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt together. Add the milk mixture and yeast mixture to the egg mixture, stirring to blend. Sift in the flour and baking powder, and mix well. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.

Step 2

Divide dough into fourths, and on a floured surface, roll out into 1/2 inch thick circles. Spread surface with the soft butter. Cut each circle like a pie into 8 triangles, and roll up from larger to small end. Place rolls point side down on a baking sheet, and allow to rise until doubled, 3 to 4 hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)

Step 3

Bake rolls for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
