Today I am making 60+ rolls for the teachers and staff at school. Therefore, I'm posting my Grandma Steel's roll recipe. My grandma didn't actually have a recipe--she just made them from memory. One day, my mom decided to watch her and write down what she did. Now we have a modified recipe that works great!
These rolls would go great with this recipe for Raspberry Jam.
This is the full recipe, but my mixer will only hold half the recipe. I usually divide the dough into thirds for the half recipe, and it makes three dozen or a few more. Be warned: it takes about 4 hours round trip to make these babies :)
Grandma Steel’s Rolls
3 Tbs. yeast
½ c. warm water
4 c. scalded milk
½ c. sugar
1 Tbs. salt
1 c butter
6 beaten eggs
12 c. flour
Dissolve the yeast into the water. Put the butter into the milk when you scald the milk in the microwave. Mix up everything. (make sure the batter is cool before you add the yeast) Add flour to make a soft, sticky dough. Pour into a greased bowl ( a BIG one). Punch down twice. Divide into 6 parts and let rest 10 min. Roll into crescent shaped rolls. Let rise for about 30 min. bake at 400 for 8-10 min.
