- This is an heirloom recipe with no directions.
- It assumes everyone knows how to make rolls.
- Modern yeast doesn't have to be proofed, so this is how I would do it.
- Sift flour then measure.
- Mix dry ingredients together including powdered eggs.
- Cut in shortening as for pastry.
- Add water and mix.
- (If real eggs are used, beat together with water, then add.
- ).
- Turn out onto floured board and knead 'til smooth.
- Place in greased bowl, cover and let rise 'til doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough.
- Shape dough by repeatedly pinching one side.
- This will pull the other side smooth.
- For cloverleaf rolls, make 1 inch balls.
- Place 3 balls, pinched side down, in greased muffin cups.
- For dinner rolls, this much flour could make 3 dozen rolls or more.
- Cut dough into equal sized pieces.
- Form into balls or ovals and place on greased baking sheet.
