Petunjuk

Scald (warm until tiny bubbles at the edge) 2 cups of milk.

Add salt, sugar, and shortening. Cool to lukewarm.

In a measuring cup, combine yeast, lukewarm water, and sugar. Let it 'get light' and add the proofed yeast mixture and the milk mixture to a mixer bowl.

Add beaten eggs. Add the flour, in parts, slowly mixing as you go.

Mix well; knead on floured board or mix in the mixer until smooth.

Place in a large, greased bowl and refrigerate (covered with plastic wrap to prevent crusting over). Can be kept 1-2 days in the fridge.

To make rolls, pinch off dough "the size of a walnut" (2 oz rolls make 40 rolls); grease each roll; place in greased pan. Let rise in a warm place til more than double. ("I let them rise to the top of a 9x13x2 cake pan, but I probably make the balls larger than a walnut"...note from Esther?).

Bake in a 375 for 15-20 minutes.

Butter, and frost with a glaze of milk and powdered sugar, if desired.
