Ingredients

1 cup boiling water

2 sticks unsalted butter

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2-1/2 packages yeast

1 cup warm water

2 eggs

6 cups flour

Melted butter

Directions

In large bowl pour boiling water over butter, sugar, salt

Dissolve yeast into WARM water

Beat eggs slightly, mix with yeast, warm water

Add this to cooled butter mixture

Add flour, several cups at a time, mix well ( I mix by hand, using large wooden spoon)

As you mix, dough will easily shrink from sides of bowl

Can leave in same bowl, OR place dough in another greased bowl

Cover and refrigerate over night OR for at least 4 hours

Remove from refrigerator 2-3 hours before serving

Turn dough onto floured board* or surface, gently knead for just a few seconds until smooth

Use rolling pin, roll to desired thickness

With round cutter, cut rolls from dough ( It is best not to twist the cutter when cutting)

Can make small petite rolls, rolling to 1/2 inch thickness

Can make bigger round rolls, rolling to 1/2 inch thickness

I prefer pocket-book rolls. I roll to 1/2 inch thickness and use a two-inch cutter. I cut the roll, dip in butter, and bring one half over to the other half's edge, then pinch down with two fingers. This creates a half-moon shape, a *pocket book* roll.

Your choice on the roll's shape! They are wonderful anyway you cut them!

After cutting the rolls, place in greased pans. (I use Crisco, not butter, butter browns too much.)

Place the rolls fairly close to each other, but giving them room to rise

Cover pan either with a clean kitchen towel, or wax paper

Place in a warm place to rise until doubled, approximately 1-1/2 hours

Brush tops *lightly* with melted butter

Bake in a 375 or 400 degree oven until lightly browned, about 12 minutes

* I prefer a floured wooden board, but can use wax paper, or other floured surface

THESE ARE HEAVENLY, and our tradition at all family gatherings.

I made these tonight. They are buttery, soft, and tender. So good. Note: the dough is a bit hard to deal with but it is worth it. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
