Ingredients

1 cup shortening ( I use 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 cup butter)

***IF you plan to refrigerate these, they are softer with all shortening***

1 cup sugar

2 well beaten eggs

1 cup warm water (to let the yeast set in)

1 cup boiling water

1 1/2 tsp. salt

2 pkg. dry yeast

6 cups sifted flour (I like to use bread flour...just a preference)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl place shortening and/or butter, sugar and salt.

Pour 1 cup boiling water over the mixture and blend.

Let set for a few min. (You still want the mixture to be a little warm)

Place the pkgs of yeast into the warm water and set aside.

Add eggs and blend.

Add yeast mixture to the bowl and blend.

Add flour a cup at a time and mix well.

***At this point you can cover and place the rolls into the refrigerator for four hours. Take them out 3 hours before cooking.***(I don't refrigerate)

Place dough in a warm place to rise for one hour.

Punch down dough.

On a floured surface knead dough gently.

Form into large balls and place in baking pan.

Let rise for another hour.

Bake at 425.

Hi Reginnia, is it possible to not use the lard, as vegetarian? What could I replace it with? Ta!

Yes! Actually I don't use lard at all. This recipe came from my great-grandmother who was German. I use Crisco Vegetable shortening in place. I just finished making these about 30 min ago and have already eaten two of them! They really are good. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks! Not sure what Crisco Vegetable Shortening is, it must be American. I'm sure that I might be able to find an equivilent here in the UK. I recon this recipe could be done with my children!What do you think?

Great Recipe/ I cut the dough in half after the final "punch down" and add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract when kneading. I use a Kitchen Adi mixer with a dough hook, it's fast and helps a lot with arthritis in my hands. For a bit more flavor I spoon on melted unsalted butter. Butter that collects on the pan is quickly absorbed thru the bottom of the rolls..yum yum.
