1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees F.)
2 Tbs. shortening
3 cups flour
2 Tbs. sugar
1-1/4 tsps salt
1 egg white, mixed with 1 Tbs. water
Sprinkle yeast over water in a small bowl, set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cut shortening into flour, sugar and salt until consistency of fine crumbs. Add yeast, stir until a soft dough forms. Cover and allow to rise in a warm spot for 20 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 portions. Flatten each into a 4 x 3 inch rectangle. Roll from long side, pinching edges to seal.
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Place rolls about 3 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Brush with egg white mixture. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
Bake 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Split each roll lengthwise.
By the by, if you ever see American Spoon products on a shelf, invite them home with you! I truly don’t know if they’re sold in supermarkets, as I’ve never seen them. I’ve gotten them from local Great Harvest Bread Company stores. They have a website, Spoon Foods, however, and you can order directly from the site. Their Strawberry Preserves are the absolute best you can buy. Slowly, but surely, I intend to try out all of their goodies! Tough job, I know, but somebody’s gotta do it!
Last, but by no means, least - today is the the day we remember a great American, Martin Luther King, Jr. To celebrate a life very much worth celebrating, I’ve written two posts centered around him on two of my other blogs. The links are below if you want to stop by. Have a great day!
