Grandma's Quick Yeast Rolls Recipe

How to make it

---

• In a small bowl or cup, dissolve yeast and 1 tsp. of sugar; set aside. In small saucepan scald milk (bring to a boil), then add salt & 3/4 c. sugar. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.
• When cooled, whisk in yeast mixture to milk and add beaten eggs. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook attachment slowly add in 4 c. of flour kneading until smooth. Add cooled melted shortening; mix until fully incorporated. Add remaining flour until dough becomes a smooth elastic consistency.
• Transfer to clean, lightly greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size. Form rolls in to desired shape. Let rise another 30 minutes. Bake 15-20 minutes at 350.

• Notes
• [My 2 Cents]
• My grandma loves butter, so one trick I learned from her was to dip shaped dough in melted butter before baking (or you could brush the rolls with melted butter). I found that my rolls weren't browning the way that I wanted them to, so the last few minutes of baking I brushed again with melted butter. The end result is a delicious buttery dream-come-true!

• It’s actually just a spiral that rose a little too long and just kind of exploded a bit 🙂 I just cut off a chunk of dough, rolled it into a 6’ish inch rope, dipped it in butter and then rolled it. Once rolled I placed in the greased muffin tin and voila – these adorable rolls were born.

• I make these rolls by using a rope of dough (6″) and winding it around two fingers, holding one end with my thumb and then poking the other end through the bottom of the roll on my fingers so that the end it pointing out of the top.
