How To Make dinner rolls

• 
  Step 1
  Scald milk in a saucepan; add shortening, sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm.
• 
  Step 2
  Sprinkle yeast on warm water; stir to dissolve.
• 
  Step 3
  Add 1 ½ cups of flour to milk mixture; beat well with a wooden spoon. Beat in eggs and yeast.
• 
  Step 4
  Gradually stir in enough remaining flour, a little at a time, to make a soft dough that leaves the sides of the bowl. Dough will be slightly sticky. Turn onto lightly floured board; knead, adding a little more flour as necessary, until smooth, satiny, and no longer sticky, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• 
  Step 5
  Place in lightly greased bowl, invert to grease top, cover and let rise until doubled, 1 to 1 ½ hours. Punch down and turn onto board. Divide in half and shape as desired.
• 
  Step 6
  Brush tops lightly with melted butter; let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes. Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Step 7
  I mixed the dough in my Kitchen Aid mixer. I let the Kitchen aid mixer knead the dough for 10 minutes on low and then I hand kneaded the dough another 5 minutes. I made about 2 to 3 inch balls of dough because grandma’s rolls were always huge, and I placed them almost touching in a large baking pan. You can get 30 small rolls from this recipe, however, the amount of rolls you get will depend on the size and shape of your rolls.

  Step 8
  Her note on the page read: Makes good cinnamon rolls. I have never made cinnamon rolls so I decided to give it a try. I divided the dough in half and made cinnamon rolls out of the other half. They turned out wonderful and delicious and I will post the recipe for Grandma Delsie's Cinnamon Rolls at another time.
