   • Begin by combining the yeast, sugar, and hot water in a large mixing bowl. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step ensures the yeast is active and ready to help your dough rise.
   • While the yeast mixture is activating, melt the margarine and add it to the bowl with the yeast mixture.
   • Gradually incorporate about 4 cups of flour into the mixture, mixing well to combine.
   • Add the eggs and salt, mixing until well combined.
   • Continue to add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and becomes smooth and elastic. The total amount of flour required can vary; it might be slightly more or less than 9 cups, depending on the humidity and other factors.
   • If you’re using a stand mixer with dough hooks, let it knead the dough for a few minutes. If mixing by hand, knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

2. Let the Dough Rise:

   • Place the dough in a large, greased bowl, such as a Tupperware Fix-N-Mix, and cover it with a clean cloth.
   • Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the lid of the bowl pops off. This indicates that the dough has sufficiently risen.

3. Shape the Rolls:

   • Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles.
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into approximately 9-inch circles, each about 1/3 inch thick.
   • Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each circle into 10 to 12 wedge-shaped pieces. Each wedge should be wide at the base, about 2 1/2 to 3 inches.
   • Starting from the wide end, roll up each wedge tightly towards the pointed end.

4. Final Rise and Bake:

   • Arrange the rolled wedges on a greased baking pan, placing them close together but not touching.
   • Cover the rolls with a clean tea towel and place a sheet of plastic over the towel to prevent them from drying out.
   • Allow the rolls to rise for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Let the Butter Horns cool slightly before serving. They are wonderful on their own or with a dollop of butter icing and a sprinkle of crushed walnuts for a sweet touch.

Enjoy the delightful aroma and taste of these Butter Horns, and relish the joy they bring to your family gatherings and special occasions! 😋🍽️
