Instructions:

Prepare Yeast: Start by dissolving yeast in 3 tablespoons of warm water, then set it aside to activate.

Prepare Crisco Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine Crisco and salt in hot water, allowing it to stand until lukewarm.
-
-
Beat Eggs: In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
-
Combine Ingredients: To the beaten eggs, add sugar, followed by the Crisco and yeast mixtures.
-
Incorporate Flour: Stir in 2 cups of flour gradually, ensuring it’s well mixed with the other ingredients.
-
Add Remaining Flour: Once the initial flour is incorporated, add the remaining flour gradually, continuing to mix until a dough forms.
-
Chill Overnight: Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate it overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to rise.
-
Preheat Oven: Approximately 1 1/2 hours before serving, preheat your oven to 200°F.
-
Roll Out Dough: With a rolling pin, roll out the chilled dough into four rounds, each about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Spread Butter: Spread soft butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.
-
Shape Rolls: Cut the dough into pie-shaped wedges, then roll each wedge, starting from the larger end, to form individual rolls.
-
Allow Rising: Place the shaped rolls on greased cookie sheets and let them rise in the warm oven at 200°F until they’ve visibly increased in size.
-
Bake: Once the rolls have risen, increase the oven temperature to 400°F and bake the rolls for approximately 6 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the rolls from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then serve them warm with your favorite accompaniments. Enjoy these Extra Special Rolls with your loved ones!
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider brushing the rolls with melted butter or garlic butter before serving.
- These rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to a few days or frozen for longer-term storage. Simply reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
