Lion House Rolls

Yield: 2-3 dozen, depending on size

There are a few versions of this recipe out there, but this one has been tested my sister-in-law and she says they are pretty good...

  • 2 T. Yeast
  • 1/2 c. scalded milk
Mix together with a pinch of salt and sugar (to help activate the yeast). Set aside.
  • 1/2 c. butter, cubed
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 t. salt
  • 2 c. scalded milk
  • 6-7 c. flour
Mix butter, sugar, eggs, salt and milk together. Add the yeast mixture and then gradually add the flour until dough is soft, but not sticky. Knead for a few minutes until dough is smooth. Cover and let rise until double (45 min - 1 hour). Roll out dough and brush with melted butter. Cut using pizza cutter into 1.5 by 6 inch strips. Roll up strips from short end and brush with melted butter. Place on greased pan and let rise again (45 min - 1 hour). Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 min (depending on oven and your liking, I baked them 14 min and I think it was too long), or until golden brown. Immediately brush again with melted butter.

scaleded=scalded then cooled before use! otherwise you kill the yeast...
